The trace we're getting is this:

The colleague who was investigating this is not here today, but from what I remember it seems to only happen when nested virtualisation is being used. I don't know more about it right now, bisecting pointed out f104765b4f81fd74d69e0eb161e89096deade2db . Since it was logging so rapidly on our autotester machines (which are running 200-250 VMs nested) that we are continuously run out of disk space I just tried to come up with a stop-gap fix until this has been properly analyzed.

Thanks,
Dirk
