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.
