You are probably facing http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504192 . It 
was fixed shortly after 0.3.1 and is available in 0.3.2

I have thought about this over and over again ... one option is to disable 
verbose debug logging by default, but people are against it. The argument 
given is, such verbose logging leads us to the errors - without them, we 
would not be able to know of certain errors. This argument is kind of valid, 
though it can be quite taxing on the users. Btw, most of the distros lower 
the loglevel so users installing from packages would not face this problem.

The other options like "last message repeated" work against the above 
argument. Are there reasons to believe that reporting "last message repeated" 
is better than disabling debug output ?
