/var/log/messages ful of rpc.statd select: Bad file descriptor lines

[Steve Searle]

On three or four occasions now on one of my Fedora 18 machines warns
that I am running out of space on /var (it has its own partition). This
is due to /var/log/messages being full of rpc.statd[1282]: my_svc_run()
- select: Bad file descriptor messages - these are repeated many times a
second.

Deleting /var/log/messages gets round this as a work around, but can
anyone suggest what I can do to investigate/fix this?

Thanks

Steve
