Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

error.log grows exponentially after exiting Steam. It got to 180GB before I killed the Steam process.
This has happened multiple times, but not every time.
It started at nothing or close to nothing and grew to 180GB after a single Steam exit.
It does not slowly grow after each exit.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Exit Steam
