This has been around for awhile.  When using a SMP configuration, the
program expect "causes" a segmentation fault that results in do_page_fault()
going into an infinite loop.  The log data repeats indefinitely and
eventually fills /var.  For some reason, expect is not killed by the kernel
when this happens, although the loop can be broken by manually killing it.
