I encountered this in Slony 1.2.6 as well: in 1.1.0, there was a
configuration parameter, "$ROTATE_TIME", which was fed to the apache rotator
instead of the arbitrary "10M". Ours was set to 86400 (every 24 hours). I
was assuming it was an oops, but I removed the APACHE_ROTATOR variable out of
my configuration files so it wouldn't even try to rotate them... which of
course means I have to manually restart slony every once in a while to avoid
running out of space.
Hope that helps.
