trace files being truncated after 18mb

I have enabled trace file debugging for my application and after the trace file has reached approx 18mb, it stops writing to the file. Im also doing logging and the log file is usually around 80mb. Is there some sort of maximum file size restriction? How do I fix this?

You gave almost no details but as a general statement there are no limits on file sizes, at least with the size of files you're dealing with. Some O/S's and file systems might have an issue after 2GB.

What is your application? What kind of logging does it use (i.e. log4j, jdk logging, etc). What O/S are you on? How much free disk space do you have?

This is happening for several users, so its not an isolated case. This is a Java applet running on Java 1.5.0_04, Windows XP. There is no issue with free disk space that I know of. The trace and log files are being outputted in the default location.

also, i enabled tracing and logging and applet lifecycle exceptions all via the control panel (the Java icon).
