Public bug reported:
Since an upgrade to 25.04, my syslog has exploded. To give you some
idea, I upgraded on May 5 and here is what syslog is doing:
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 37G May 15 16:12 /var/log/syslog
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 55G May 11 00:46 /var/log/syslog.1
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 2.4M May 6 19:43 /var/log/syslog.2.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 1.1M Apr 27 00:01 /var/log/syslog.3.gz
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 588K Apr 20 00:51 /var/log/syslog.4.gz
In the course of a couple of weeks, it has consumed 90GB. The bulk of
it appears to be lines like this:

These are being generated every few ms and I don't know how to make them
stop. The file it is looking for does in fact not exist; it was a very
short-lived temporary file generated by lilypond in the process of
compiling source into a pdf of a different name.
