Already covered in earlier e-mail.

Hurray!

Thanks for the feedback.  Because you could not reproduce it, I have
looked into it some more.  Your suggestion that file permissions were
involved is the answer.

I have been using the bug workaround described in this message to
avoid glob2 filling up my disk with log files:

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2007-04/msg00368.html

The workaround is to turn off all permissions on my ~/.glob2/logs
directory.  It seems that you have made some change which means doing
that now causes a crash.  Before it used to prevent log files (and
also cause all log messages to be sent to the standard output
instead).

For further background on why I came to this solution, you can consult
these earlier e-mails:

  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2007-04/msg00341.html
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2007-04/msg00343.html
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2007-04/msg00348.html
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2007-04/msg00350.html
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2007-04/msg00362.html

So either I need turning off permissions on ~/.glob2/logs to work
again, or I need some other solution to stop glob2 from filling up my
disk with log files.  This is important because all sorts of other
programs start failing when the disk is filled up.

What do you suggest?
