The limit is in iocLogServer, and is controlled by the environment variable
EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_LIMIT, which normally defaults to 1MB.  You can either
change the default (CONFIG_SITE_ENV in $EPICS_BASE/config is the right
place for that) or you can set it in the environment before you start the
logServer.
