Also ran across this bug. It came up on my VMware system under a Windows
10 host, seemingly due to an issue with VMWare kicking network in and
out very, very rapidly. Constant disk and CPU activity perked up as soon
as I connected the VM to the host bridge, and the "network is
disconnected" message came and went. The activity never stopped, I fell
asleep (... yep), and when I came back to it, a new message about low
disk space was there as well. I examined the drive and found this log
file exploded to 11 GB. Googled it, found this thread.

VMWare apparently has an issue with networking in Windows 10, where
bridged networking no longer works at all even with the VMWare Bridge
networking service added back after the upgrade, and with VMWare
repaired with the latest installer. It's a pretty clean system but it's
been upgraded from one version to the next as Ubuntu's been updated over
the years.

In the interest of bug-squishing, I compressed the 11GB file down to
11MB (yay, 7-Zip!), and posted it here. I'm primarily a Windows guy with
fair knowledge of Linux, so hopefully this isn't a hassle to open...
Dropbox has become too unreliable to use for hosting files, so I've got
to post it on my OneDrive.

Hope this helps!
