I imagine that the desired effect is to only retain the last 'n' log
messages. That way one could have the "circular log" turned on, and not
have a log file get out of control. Probably useful when having a "stock"
setup for new users, and a trouble desk to see a "post mortem" when a
"supposed failure" (real or imagined) happens.
Of course the alternitive is to "try again" with the log turned on and get
the results that way, but it might take some explaining to a new user.
No, I don't have needs for this type of log in Kermit, but I do admit it
might be "handy".
