Ok, that's a huge logfile, but I just wanted to post that here in case it's relevant.
I'm sorry, I didn't show the big one:
# ls -al /var/log/maillog -rw------- 1 root root 2147483647 Sep 2 20:50 maillog
Is over 2 gigs huge? ;) Now is that the limit of syslog-ng? I have 15 gigs or so free in the filesystem it's on.
