(Get the code!)
Very frequently my /var/log/syslog gets spammed with content similar to this:
...

On other machines I've been unable to login via another TTY terminal (<ctrl> <alt> <f1>), because of this ongoing spamming from the kernal to STDOUT. I'm actually considering getting rid of eCrypt FS on all my machines because of this.
Any ideas on how to solve it?
