Extreme log growth attempting to print stack if stack corrupted
The unix command kill -USR1 can be used to to print C and Smalltalk stacks to the GemStone log file for that process. However, if the stack is corrupted in certain ways, this may have entered a loop printing
[ incomplete frame, send in progress ].
The log file for the process may continuously grow printing this message, potentially filling up the disk space.
Workaround
Kill the process using kill -TERM
