[Logcheck-devel] Bug#470654: logcheck: Huge reboot reports cripple kmail

[David Baron]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.63
Severity: important

Latest and greatest from Sid (one of 2-3 components?): Reboot reports are
18 megabytes, possibly including corrupt or non-textual items. Displayed
beginning looks normal but it becomes impossible to view more because that
huge file cripples kmail.
