I thought of this after my post, is there is simple method for determining
"size on disk"?

I think we're approaching a legitimate bug report.  If no one beats be to
it, or has suggestions about follow up diagnosis that should be performed
beforehand, I'll file this evening with a proposed solution that wtmp be
rotated/discarded on a weekly basis.
