large log file

[Harold L Hunt II]

Maklouf,

The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-6 release was made just for you.  It turns off 
your error message after 10 instances of it.  Please download it and try 
it with your screen saver on... I would like to know that the message 
disabling works.  I don't have a test environment, so your testing is 
all I can go on.

Thanks for testing,

Harold
