Bug Description
When running steam /var/log/syslog gets flooded with error messages. Growing it insanely fast to gigantic sizes > 100 MB in a matter of hours.
The lines in question:
Oct 22 19:07:56 NEXUS-ONE steam.desktop[
Oct 22 19:07:56 NEXUS-ONE steam.desktop[
Oct 22 19:07:56 NEXUS-ONE steam.desktop[
This happens very fast, just did a measuerment on it and it was about 213K per 2 minutes wich syslog grew.
Shutting down Steam stops it completely. Bu thats not a real option since we like to play our games, don't we? :)
