This just happened to me again: GNU Emacs¹ filled up my root-partition by writing 42GB of copies of this line: (emacs-snapshot-gtk:6008): GLib-WARNING **: g_main_context_check() called recursively from within a source's check() or prepare() member. I think it was because I had an emacsclient X window open on my phone, which lost connection when I walked the dog. It happened once before, so I thought I would report it, as it severely cripples the system it happens to when the filesystem is filled up. >From Googling I can see that the answer to people who hit this usually is "Don't use GTK, use Lucid"² - so I guess I have to talk Romain Francoise into creating another set of snapshot packages³. Or is there a way to turn off those warnings, or some other clever workaround I can employ?
