Also:  2MB isn't big anymore...

The sequence is:

    net.log.2 -> net.log.3
    net.log.1 -> net.log.2
    net.log   -> net.log.1

The old "*.log.3" file gets deleted when the renaming occurs, so you
have the four file suffixes listed above at any given time, but the
newest one might be empty or near-empty if the files just rotated.
