Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Seems the startup fails, while not able to appending to logfile because
 some magic size limits. (looks like INT_MAX bytes here? 2 GByte)
 Also possible solution for startup fail should be the non default setting
 i found:

 {{{
 # TruncateLogFile TruncateLogFile 0|1
 #     If 1, Tor will overwrite logs at startup and in response to a HUP
 signal,
 #     instead of appending to them. (Default: 0)
 }}}
 But this will not help for running tor trying for writing above the
 filelimits.
