Do you mean "slurpd" or "slapd"?  In my limited experience, "slurpd" 
processes the logs.  It may have a growing ".rej" replog sitting around 
somewhere, but "slurpd" doesn't keep logs around.

The logs that "slapd" writes are opened, appended to, and closed with 
each modification, as far as I can tell.  If you move the file, slapd 
will create a new replog file.
