If I follow this discussion:
http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@kannel.org/msg06223.html

you may be able to recompile sysklogd and have it pass the 2g limit.
It might be easier to move the rotation frequency back to one week,
and then glom the rotated files together once a month via cron.

If recompiling sysklogd is the answwer, a bug should propbably be filed?
