The journal files get flushed to the zone file periodically, but old transactions don't get removed so the journal file will continue to grow forever. If you're like me and on virtual machines with limited hard disk capacity, you can limit the journal file size with the max-journal-size configuration statement. Just make sure that the size is large enough to hold all of the transactions between flushes (I believe that's around every 15 minutes). Otherwise, after a crash you would be missing records.
I am fairly sure you are wrong on that last point. BIND will not flush journal file entries that have not yet been committed to the master file, even if they make the journal bigger than max-journal-size. If you specify "max-journal-size 512;" you will find the journal gets emptied completely, but only after the master file has been updated.
