Thanks.  Nothing looks wrong here, but why do you have that many .u

If you had once configured many log files, and then change the
configuration to fewer log files than before, svlogd won't reduce the
number of log files; you would need to remove them manually.  This might
be what happens to you.

No, it won't remove log files, see above.  The question is whether the
number of log files still is increasing, and if so, whether it still
increases after sending the SIGHUP.
