Failed to reproduce this issue on my workstation. Using the same
version you're. Could you send us a detailed step by step or video to
better understand the problem?

That's generated by audit plugins. They receive a fuzzable request
(similar to what a browser/regular user would send) and create mutants
(modified, ugly versions of the original request).

Yep, known bug which sucks. You either wait for stop to work or
contribute to the project to fix the issue :)

Before you had to wait. In the last month I modified output plugins to
write stuff to disk every N seconds (not sure what N is).

That change might be only in develop branch.

No

There is no way to know. This is the result of parsing an HTML page.
HTML pages can be huge in KB, but have only 2 links and 1 form, or be
really compact and with thousands of links
