The main problem with the console logs was that the console was over
serial line at 9600 baud to an old vt220 (common in mass machine room
configurations), so this is extremely touchy to verbose console
messages.
Besides, if you have a central NFS server, and a program on a client
goes over quota, the server gets hosed because of messages, as do
all the other clients trying to access that server.
