Recently one of my apache installations went down, and after looking around we found out that it's the apache's error_log and access_log size that had reached 2GB. Once we rename the logs and create a new empty ones, everything's ok.
My OS is Redhat 4 and filesystem is ext3. According to wikipedia, a file in ext3 can have up to 16 GB to 2 TB in size. Is it the apache implementation or is it something else that rendered the apache unable to start after 2 GB?
Thank's in advance.

What version of apache are you using? A quick google shows that older versions had a bug regarding logfiles that were 2gb.
