strange messages in the systemd journal

in flag

I'm running systemd version:

on 5.8.0-54-lowlatency #61~20.04.3

For some reason my services started spamming the system log with these messages:

It doesn't look like the messages that my application would write. It seem more system related. Any ideas would be helpful. There is plenty of disk space, so far.

Looks like some log records formatted like `dmesg`, split by the word bounds. Large numbers are timestamps, etc. Assembled message seems to be like `[1633203968.551844999] ERROR: ModuleID=8 Errcode=8 X=0 E=1 T=1 <not found>/<not found>:-1/<not found>:`. Are you sure your application couldn't output this?

@NikitaKipriyanov - I'm fairly certain that it isn't my application. But it could the libraries I link with.

Found it. One the libraries we are using is sending this message.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
