It sounds like some kind of progamming problem. Are you running out of disk space in the filesystem where the logfile lives? You should see errors about disk space.
Code:
cd /directory/to/logfile
df -b .
This shows the number of free bytes If it is a small number (<10000) you have a problem. YOu need to clean out unused files - move them off somewhere else or back them up to tape and then delete them.
