1. you previously sent a data set to someone else (maybe to yourself on a different system).
2. that person has received the data set.
3. you were sent an acknowledgement message that the data set was received.
4. when you login, the system automatically issues a RECEIVE command.
5. the acknowledgement message gets logged to your ATXFOGG.LOG.MISC data set
6. the size of your log file increases and tries to get a new extent, but the dasd is full and the acknowledgement cannot actually be logged to ATXFOGG.LOG.MISC
7. the acknowledgement message stays on the spool.
8. you now live a 'ground hog day' whenever you logon, repeating steps 4-7

Possible solutions:
- free up space on DASD
- rename the old log data set if you want to keep it... the system should create a new one. Otherwise, delete the log data set.
- issue RECEIVE LOGDATASET(my.new.log) to direct the message to a different log data set
