Bug Description

The Application Developer's Guide says setting EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_LIMIT=0 would turn off the limit on the log file size. However, this results in the iocLogserver not starting:

$ /usr/bin/iocLogServer
iocLogServer: EPICS environment variable `EPICS_IOC_LOG_FILE_LIMIT'
undefined
iocLogServer: EPICS environment underspecified
iocLogServer: failed to initialize

I wrote a little log client that writes ~3 GB of log data to verify that the limit is gone (see testLog.cpp).
