One thing which might help with size based rotating is mentioned in
section 5.11 in the reference manual. The file can be rotated any time
since it is not kept open but only opened when needed.

For example logrotate, which comes with many Linux distributions, can
rotate logs based on their size. This approach lets the logrotating
software take care of (delay)compressing, renaming, moving to holding
directories and doing other log specific house keeping.
