Fun fact: We had an issue with a testing system I worked on years back, and it turned out SoaTest logging every single xml request it sent a mock response to as a separate file in the same directory made it impossible to delete the files with rm * because '*' overflowed the shell buffer for maximum string length. I think it was something like 60 million files that had accumulated. There was actually a tangentially similar case where we had to log all of the queued tips that get sent to the Navy's maritime domain awareness system that get purged because they aren't positively adjudicated in time, and this queue could get so large in testing environments because the system kept automatically filling the queue but no one was around to adjudicate, that the log message would grow larger than the JVM's maximum string length. Yet another where our regression test suite did a pixel-by-pixel bytewise diff of before and after images and printed to an html report. Eventually, the diffs grew so big as images kept getting larger that you couldn't open the report without crashing Firefox.
