Perhaps you don't have enough disk space. I remember back in 4.1, I ran into a problem
where I had a logfile that had never been rotated and was almost 2GB, on an NT system.
Couldn't log switch it, and it looked like the logswitch process would actually *copy*
the data to another logfile before clearing the active logfile. There wasn't enough
free space on the disk for the copy to occur.
