Bug Description
Binary package hint: lcdproc
the system can run correctly for days and all of a sudden the front LCD stops responding. it reports dozens of messages per second in /var/log/syslog:
Jun 6 07:57:08 lmc kernel: [402111.465184] imon 5-1:1.0: imon usb_rx_
Jun 6 07:57:08 lmc kernel: [402111.473180] imon 5-1:1.0: imon usb_rx_
Jun 6 07:57:08 lmc kernel: [402111.481174] imon 5-1:1.0: imon usb_rx_
Jun 6 07:57:08 lmc kernel: [402111.489173] imon 5-1:1.0: imon usb_rx_
Jun 6 07:57:08 lmc kernel: [402111.497174] imon 5-1:1.0: imon usb_rx_
this fills up the /var partition REALLY fast and then things start to break leaving the system unstable

i ran 10.10 before natty with the lirc-modules-source which had a different imon kernel driver. that used to have similar problems but the later releases didnt and the system kept running for months without problems. with the update to natty the error returned.
so i could well be the kernel driver or some setting i can pass the module when it loads. (i just dont know which one)
would be nice if this would be fixed in the default kernel module or the lcdproc package, whichever causes the problem.
