This can happen in the course of normal log rotation... for example,
if you just have a heavy day or 2 of web traffic your logs will be
larger...  if you are getting this constantly, rotate the logs more
often as suggested.  If your traffic is going to go back down to a
normal rate, the logs will most likely cure themselves... this is my
experience on a CentOS 4.x system without doing any changes to
logging.
