As it turns out... reading my own log... it had nothing to do with the
network popup. Wow. It's all about Moonshine S-Off, a rather poorly
written (and very user-hostile) program that tries (and often fails) to
exploit an S-Off onto an HTC phone. Rumrunner actually worked properly,
anyway, with a better sense of humor on the same basic code. :P

Seems like it logs every line that goes onto a terminal - even if that
line is just overwriting the previous one. And that's what blows up the
log file.
