It's probably a limitation of Nessus itself. I believe recent versions
of Nessus 2.x can be built with largefile support (make sure O_LARGEFILE
is defined when building it), but unless you really want large files,
you are probably better off setting up your logfiles so they are rotated
when they reach a certain size.

Two other points:

1) Starting with version 2.2.5, Nessus will automatically rotate
nessusd.messages when it starts if the file is too big.

2) You also might want to verify that "ulimit -f" on your Nessus host
reports either "unlimited" or something greater than 2 GB for the file
size limit.
