Maybe "(hs_err.log)" -> "(e.g. hs_err.log)"?  While it's true that hs_err.log is the inadvertent source of sensitive information, we've had many cases of people just including that information in the description or comments directly (e.g. username in paths when describing test case).

Remediation is difficult.
