Package: reportbug
Version: 3.45
Severity: normal
I recently reported a problem with xserver-xorg, which in certain
circumstances creates an overlong log file. In my case, it was about
130MB long.
The problem is that reportbug appeared to hang on this, because it was
trying to include the log file. I think that reportbug should look at
the size of files it wants to read, and possibly only consider the first
part, rather than going through them all.
