Comment 2 for bug 482527

Note: when this happens, you can very quickly burn a huge amount of space in /var/log. As in, 39 gigabytes in /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/messages, and /var/log/syslog combined in just a couple of hours. I noticed this because my brand-spanking new SSD suddenly registered a huge amount of writes more than I was expected, and I started hunting to figure out what was going on....

As a result, people may be quite surprised when this happens to them.
