A little check here seems to confirm your guess:
The concerned Linux box runs beagle 0.2.17 built by openSUSE Build Service (at
least rpm -qi says so), it was started only with the --bg flag (no --debug
flag !) and it still does produce the large log files.

I'd vote for this suggestion.

Kind regards,
