Now I've observed the same (or at least a similar problem again).
arlad consuming lots of cpu, and stopping arla failed. Unlike the
previous time, I can't find any "NNPFS PANIC WARNING" messages, and
unfortunately I didn't try strace before rebooting.

But I did capture a message trace file of some 4 GB. What should I do
with that? It's a binary file, so I guess I need some special tool to
see what's happening.
