Today, I lost several hundred emails because my disk quota was full.
The reason it was full was ~/.xsession-errors, which had extended to
113 GB:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -lah .xsession-errors
  -rw------- 1 pre usit 113G Sep  3 10:28 .xsession-errors
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

The reason it filled up was gnash, outputting messages like this
several times a second:

  29248] 10:29:11: MALFORMED SWF: Internal jpeg error: Improper call to JPEG 
library in state %d
  29248] 10:29:11: MALFORMED SWF: Internal jpeg error: Improper call to JPEG 
library in state %d

Please make gnash quiet or at least less verbose when called as a
browser plugin, to avoid filling the disk with messages in
~/.xsession-errors.  Perhaps debug output only should be enabled on
request, when some environment variable is set?

Happy hacking,
