I see that the text "rotate_file" occurs only in 'util.c'. I see that  
one reference is the definition of the function, one is a text  
reference for some sort of display or logging and the last is a  
function call within the "log_data" function. It appears that  
rotate_file is only called if the file size exceeds the  
MAX_LOGFILE_SIZE which is set at 2048000 (unknown units).

So logfile rotation already exists, but there is no user control and  
it only happens if filesize gets really big (2 MB?). It looks like it  
is currently programmed to keep 3 files. I don't know where they are  
kept and what the renaming scheme is.
