Bug Description
There seems to be a bug, in one of the programs that write its log to the kernel log files.
The log files are blown up in a few hours with Gigabytes of log messages, wasting all space on the root partition.
Affected are the files /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog. Every single file has a size of 2.8 GB!
As you can see in the attached file (which is an excerpt of the last 100'000 lines in my /var/log/messages file) there are two errors that are logged over and over again. Look out for the two gaps in the log file where i have made a little note about how often the error was repeatedly logged.
