[Straw-devel] Straw logs gone berzerk.

[Charles McCabe]

Hi all.  I'm sure this isn't the right place for this question, but I'm
not sure I can call it a bug, either, and I don't see a "support list".

Straw works great on my FC4 machine (2.6.14-1.1656_FC4, but other
kernels have had the same problem), except that periodically it starts
writing insane numbers of log.* files in ~/.straw over and over again,
then deletes them.  It freezes Straw entirely and makes the rest of the
machine crawl.

Below is the output from two consecutive "ls-lh" during the problem.

Straw was installed with Fedora, and yum'ed up to:
straw-0.22.1-6

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks,
