Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with extremely huge output size of extension log. Path: /Users/piotrblazejewicz/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-vscode.powershell-0.11.0/logs/1492023659-6b4269a7-46c9-4e07-8b88-f619373de0aa1492023335791 Size: 19 202 038 517 bytes (19,2 GB on disk)

I’ve reviewed released for 0.12.* and didn’t spot info about possible fix.

Thanks!

Also your extension when it gets updated deletes all logs. So the log can only get that big if no updates were done for either preview or production version for a very long time which is not possible with your current release times.

Sorry… I think this isn’t caused by this extension, too. I’ll have a deeper look into it.
