[Logcheck-devel] Bug#623298: Acknowledgement (logcheck: excessive CPU use by egrep)

[Arthur Marsh]

This bug is due to leafnode even at minimal logging creating about 100 
MiB of log entries like reported in:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623302

These entries were of the form:

Apr 19 00:03:09 victoria fetchnews[3335]: gmane.linux.kernel: killed 
79950 (<200212181942.gBIJgp418497 at devserv.devel.redhat.com>), too old 
(3043 > 15) days

As this was the largest proportion of junk log entries, perhaps logcheck 
should filter these entries out before performing other filtering?

Regards,

Arthur.
