Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: logrotate
I'm seeing logrotate use 100% CPU for a couple of minutes daily!
I've tracked this issue to "logrotate.status" being ~57MB, having one
million lines, almost all of them mentioning log files that are now non-
existent (I had an accident where millions of files were created once).
I believe the correct behavior is for logrotate to "clean" its status
file removing lines that reference non existent files. If logrotate
itself doesn't do that, can we have a cronjob to do it be default.
