Frequent generated log files takes up the whole system drive (C:\)

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.

This is a known bug fixed in the imminent SP2 for Reporting Services.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885286/
You can get a hotfix, details are in the KB article. What've I've tended to
do is just set up a scheduled task to check the size of the logs folder and
if it gets over a certain size start deleting old logs.
