* Large file support, i.e. support to write to log files that are
larger than 2 GB is not part of syslogd, but a matter of the Glibc
emitting different system calls to the kernel interface. To support
large files you'll have to compile syslogd with the compiler defines
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE so that glibc adjusts the
system calls.
