I've been using BOPM for 2 years, and I love this project, today I
discovered that bopm wasn't running on my server, after a quick check, I
found that it refused to start, no error message were given, and if I
started it with debug flag, everything goes well...so i decided to
strace a bit, and found that the bopm.log file was too big to be written
(i have more than 40 gb free):

write(0, "[Jan 05 12:23:11 2006] MAIN -> B"..., 51) = -1 EFBIG (File too
large)
--- SIGXFSZ (File size limit exceeded) @ 0 (0) ---

infact this file was quite big, 2147483647 bytes, after deleting it,
everything worked flawlessly
