TrendMicro InterScan VirusWall (3.6 on RedHat 6.2 Linux) fills the disk
up to
the last bit, then clears the disk and re-starts again, effectively
rendering the
system 100% loaded without proceeding any further. The system does
not crash, though.

(Still) waiting for reply from Trend (since monday)...
