So, it appears that in the cases where Steam freezes, it is stuck in
dump_memory_info, writing a 3.3G file onto my disk, since that's the size of
dc[0]->size. I'm very happy that I discovered this, because I've erased the
files in question, and freed up lots of wasted space.

Now... if I could figure out why it wants to dump the memory in the first place...
There's obviously some kind of an assertion that fails..but why. I have a 150 MB
log file with trace enabled for everything - let me know what to grep for, and I
can post the result here.
