It should be fixed in the last release of sysklogd package,
by replacing all global * (as in /var/log/daemons/*) in the
syslog conf file placed in /etc/logrotate.d by explicit
base names of log files.
A patch had been applied to prevent logrotate from rotating
compressed archives but that doesn't work. In fact the glob
call that generates the files list to rotate don't use the banned
extensions (they are only used for excludind configuration files),
so if you use * (without any extension) it will initiate a
rotation for each file of a directory, taking an exponential
amount of time...
