For that very reason it is recommended that /var (and specifically
/var/log) be on a seperate partition.

File a bug with the software that left the huge logfile (MythTV?), to
have an option that will not log all that was not necessary. A logfile
that fills a file system is bad, probably worse than whatever caused
the crash.
