kdm.log getting spammed on every log out

Ok so /var/log/kdm.log every time a user logs out is getting over 30 thousand lines added to it. What happens is that I get the below message for every line in a file contained in the root directory.

"KConfigIni: In file /.readahead, line 12788: " Invalid entry (missing '=')

So I checked to see what all was accessing the file and got this.

lsof /var/log/kdm.log

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

kdm_greet 1095 root 2w REG 253,3 9806184 31 /var/log/kdm.log

It only seems to happen when the user logs out of a session. I have looked at the kdm config and can find no signs of the config trying to read anything from / . So any help you can provide would be great thank you in advance.
