Hi,

OK, here is a test scenario.

mkdir /tmp/svlogd-test
cat <<EOF >/tmp/svlogd-test/config
s100
n3
!gzip -9
EOF
svlogd /tmp/svlogd-test </dev/urandom

Let it run for a while; it seems to work, there are never more than 3 @*
files.

Now press ctrl-c, and then restart svlogd. Repeat a few times. I was left
with:

-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc1feb0734.s
-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc20bca35c.s
-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc2192e304.s
-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc2265d304.s
-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc233999dc.s
-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc240d7ff4.s
-rwxr--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc24e03d2c.s
-rw-r--r--+  1 korn admin  123 Jun  2 16:57 @40000000448051fc25b15484.t
-rw-r--r--+  1 korn admin   17 Jun  2 16:57 config
-rw-r--r--+  1 korn admin  100 Jun  2 16:57 current
-rw-------+  1 korn admin    0 Jun  2 16:57 lock
-rw-r--r--+  1 korn admin    0 Jun  2 16:57 newstate
-rw-r--r--+  1 korn admin    0 Jun  2 16:57 state

Obviously way more than 3.

So, somehow, when svlogd exits due to a signal, the number of logfiles can
get out of hand.
