Enormous Log Files: everything.log, errors.log, and kernel.log

On my laptop that has an Intel 855GM graphics chip, everything.log, errors.log, and kernel.log quickly fill up my tiny 20GB / partition. They seem to appear whenever I use something that uses OpenGL. (i.e. they don't appear if I just let it sit on tty2) I use Compiz, so that is almost always.  They are filled almost exclusively with this one line:

[14815.256028] [drm:intel_prepare_page_flip] *ERROR* Prepared page flip multiple times

That said, everything seems to work fine until / gets filled up, so I guess just suppressing these logs would be sufficient, except that I have no idea what is creating them.
