[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] driew:
I recently rooted my phone, and while using rsync to sync everything to my desktop, I noticed that logcat2 kept calling gzip constantly.

I also noticed that everytime I launched rsync it would always recopy all the devlog/* files as they were always new. Upon investigation my logs are flooded with:

(Notice it's frequency)

This occurs if any app does any heavy network usage.

I've frozen any and all 'statistics' apps that I downloaded from market, but I still can't seem to stop these messages from filling the logs. - I don't know what causes the error.

Any tips for tracking this down? or what causes these messages?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
