>Description:
If both size-based and time-based rotation parameters are specified for the
same log file in newsyslog.conf, the size specification is effectively
ignored because the rotation-decision logic returns early if the at-time
test isn't satisfied.
>How-To-Repeat:
Specify both a size limit and a time specification for the same file. The
log will not be rotated until the designated time regardless of how large
it becomes before then.
>Fix:
This patch allows both size and time to be specified in a useful way. The
log file will be rotated when either the size is exceeded or the designated
time arrives.
