I think this can be achieved without modifying syslogd. You can achieve
the same effect by using an appropriate program as the log destination
(think Apache's rotatelogs).
Eg:
local3.* |/usr/local/sbin/loglimit /var/log/foo B 1K
Where loglimit would copy stdin to the named file, rotating it when
appropriate.
