maybe you do so many things.

you think  
you like to think and you think again  
and so on and so on…

and voila - your log is fat 🙂 oops - it’s not so polit-correctly.

I think it might be appended rather than replaced every run.

What does it contain? If it has a giant block of very similar messages, it may be a cause for concern.

Sorry for not replying so long- anyways the file is so big that it can’t even be opened and just crashes. I had to erase it.
