Freqent generated log files took up the entire system drive

This happend twice on two different servers. A 33MB reporting service log was
generated every 3 minutes until it took up the entire C:\ drive. The log file
has a header then repeat some message as in the following exerpt for 30+
thousand times. Then it starts another log file endlessly until the whole C:\
drive is used.
It has caused the interruptions of programs hosted on the server. After
delete the logs the reporting service is back to normal. But we need to
prevent this from happening again.
