Comment:

 Okay, it looks like at least two bugs here: failure to start when the logs
 are over 2GB, and the underlying warning message that is filling up the
 logs.  We should fix both of these.

 The warning message means that we are trying to fill a buffer attached to
 an incoming TLS connection to over 2GB in size, which is not something we
 should ever do; we should investigate why.

 I'm guessing that you are running as a relay; is that right?  Would you be
 okay with posting as much of your configuration here as you are
 comfortable with?
