 	It does happen. You'll find a thread on 
gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general, commencing 10/26/08, about a 
machine that suddenly turned up with 54 GB in /var/log.

 	The worst thing is that I finally had to wipe the file to 
regain control of the machine -- so we never did find out what 
had caused it... (Logwatch and logrotate were both installed, and 
apparently working.)
