When newsyslog runs it looks at the number of blocks used and not the file size. Given that the intent could be different for different sysadmins, I am not sure if it would be a software bug or a documentation error. >How-To-Repeat: Use zfs for /var/log with compression enabled, run ls -lh and see file sizes larger than configured in /etc/newsyslog.conf. >Fix: It's either a coding error and documentation ambiguity.
