How much memory did you assign to the 3640's process? Usually the log
will increase size like that when the router instance isn't able to boot
and keeps looping over and over. Try adding more memory and see what
happens.

Subject: Re: SP Track using Dynamips
I setup R&S topology for IEWB. I used the URL provided by IE.
http://www.internetworkexpert.com/resources/iosonpc.htm
While I login, I get the following message but not getting command line.
"Connected to Dynamips VM "R1" (ID 0, type c3600) - Console port"
Also one of the 3640 log file size increases so fast and eats up my
free 12GB of hard disk space.
If anybody knows how to fix, please help.
Thank you,
-Noble
