Wow. What is size of Your logfile? AFAIR kernel 2.4.x has limit 2TB
on single file (ext3 filesystem).

for distinct time periods. Before Mathopd tries to open the
log file, it will expand any '%' constructs in the log file
name, similar to date(1) and strftime(3).
So, Log /var/mathopd/log.%Y%m%d%H probably will works an made logs like
/var/mathopd/log.2005101301
/var/mathopd/log.2005101302
/var/mathopd/log.2005101303
and so on...

Errrm. This is the number of concurrently open file descriptors
throughout the system, not max file size.
