Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: critical

Today .xsession-errors grew over 1.5 gigabyte, filling all free space on /home
partition. Because of that, other programs couldn't save their data, and
some very important data was lost. It's not the first time I lost data because
of sudden explossion of .xsession-errors, so I'm filling a bug report with
this severity.

I have no idea which program caused so many errors. At the moment it's just 5kB.
But that's not really relevant. The problem is that the .xsession-errors is
misdesigned and must be fixed - I don't care how - by setting reasonable limits
on its size, limiting kind of errors that have to be logged, removing it altogether,
or some other way. But the current situation is not acceptable.

This bug has been marked as "wontfix" for a while, and I don't think it
is worth keeping it open. So as part of cleaning the BTS, I am just
closing it.

Cheers
Brice
