Unfortunately, I'm reasonably sure this isn't the issue, unless
syslog-ng itself has problems with large files.  This is on
Solaris 8, and the filesystem is mounted with the largefiles
option:

/system on /dev/md/dsk/d50
read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/logging/onerror=3Dpanic/dev=3D1540032 =
on
Wed Aug 14 07:38:02 2002

Same thing happened again tonight, around the same time.  At
about 22:30, the log mysteriously was truncated and restarted.
Arggh!!!
