this is what puzzled me; I expected replog to be cleared immediately
after replication.

However, after watching the replog over several days, I have noticed
that it gets truncated every now and then... it grows to 20-30 kb, and
then the next day it is back to maybe 2kb.. with new content.

So I guess slurpd is doing its job :)
I'm not sure if housekeeping is done at regular time intervals, or
if it happens when a certain sizelimit is reached.

well, not in my setup :)
