If SKS log files, copy /dev/null or edit to taste.

BDB log files are this sequence:
        cd KDB
        sudo db53_recover -ev
        sudo db53_checkpoint -1
        sudo db53_archive -dv   $ <-- this removes unref'd log records
        sudo db53_recover -ev 

Equally simple is to automate log removal by adding this to DB_CONFIG
        set_flags db_log_autoremove on

There's some minor incompatibilities in DB_CONFIG depending on BDB version (but
I think the above Just Works everywhere from memory).
