This is my sister's computer hence the 'sexysue' ;) After recently upgrading to Jaunty I've noticed strange behaviour esp with in /var/log.

Any ideas from anyone? Google throws up nothing. Printing from OO is fine and have just succesfully printed the orignal email without the errors. This is very strange and I'm scared she'll run out of partition space if this happens when I'm not here .... which will likely be the case. CIA -Ants -- 100% naturally selected. 0% designed.
