Hi Marcelo,

	I just ran 2.4.23, and after a few min the disk reached 100%
capacity. A quick check lead to to oversized kernel log, and to the
following changeset :

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset@1.1136.23.2?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-12w

	Patch to fix this problem is attached below, I've just
backported the proper fixes from 2.5.X into 2.4.X.
	Probably this person did too much Python, but in C you need
braces around multiple statements part of the same branch, so the
second printf was always executed even when logging was disabled. I
also don't understand why this person didn't decided to backport the
2.5.X fix.
	I'm also bit surprised that this kind of patch went into the
kernel behind my back, because I though that freeze meant not
accepting untested patch from random hacker.

	Have fun...

	Jean
