Has anyone built svlogd to handle large files?

If svlogd is set up for time based log rotation:

s0
t86400

with a very verbose service, then we see:

nanosleep({3, 0}, 0xbf9a245c)           = 0
write(6, "rverCore.setThreadName: (ServerCore.java:96) Renamed thread
to UspService-InternalServer-ServerMain\n", 100) = -1 EFBIG (File too
large)
write(2, "svlogd: pausing: unable to write to current:
/var/log/mom-server: file too big\n", 79) = 79

..so it's trying to write, getting EFBIG, sleeping, trying to write etc...
