I wouldn't know how others on this list could blindly wade through a 100 GB compressed logfile on your machine. All we know is that it's huge and shouldn't be that big if everything was OK. Have you tried taking a look at the contents of this file using something like less (I wouldn't try to open it in a text editor)? Maybe the first look at the contents reveals the problem.
