Package: src:calcluix-cgx
Version: 2.17+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I just noticed on the Ubuntu autopkgtest runners that our disk had
filled up. When investigating the cause, it turns out that calculix-cgx
autopkgtest runs of version 2.17+dfsg-1 have been (apparently)
infinitely spamming "ERROR:^@ not valid". The biggest such log that I
noticed was 37G!

It looks like

 Since a system call can be dangerous You have to chose now between stop (s), 
continue (c) or enable (e). If you chose 'e' the 'sys' command will be 
un-locked by creating or extending your personal config file 
'/home/ubuntu/.cgx' with the un-lock command ALLOW_SYS. You may delete this 
command from your '.cgx' file to lock the 'sys' command again.
 Waiting for user input. Please type into the terminal either s,c or e (the 
terminal has to be the active window!):

I've pinged the Debian CI people, will report back & upgrade the severity if
they confirm it is happening on Debian too.

Cheers,
