Squid logs do grow over time.

Hopefully your OS comes with a nice, integrated solution - like logrotate on
RedHat Linux. But that's a question for a mailing list for your OS.

Squid also comes with a built-in capability - "squid -k rotate". The number of
old logs to keep is in squid.conf.

Note that even if you use another program to rotate Squid logs, you still
should run squid -k rotate periodically (because of swap.state, I believe) -
just set the number of old logs to keep to 0 in squid.conf.
