	I don't know.  HTCondor does not rotate (individual) job event 
logs, but it looks like it's possible for the global (job) event log to 
rotate, based on the documented knobs.  The Python JobEventLog class calls 
the C++ reader code, which is prepared for the log to rotate, but I don't 
know if it actually works -- all the testing I did for the Python bindings 
was with individual jobs, and I don't know if the C++ code's test tests 
the global event log rotating.
	However, since EVENT_LOG_MAX_SIZE is specified in bytes, it 
should be pretty easy to force a global event log to rotate while you're 
watching it from Python.
