I run slim on an eee and have /var/log on a 5mb tmpfs, so I ran into 
this problem quickly. I run logrotate every hour (/etc/cron.hourly/) and 
limit log files to 100k. For example, /etc/logrotate.d/slim:

/var/log/slim.log {
     compress
     rotate 4
     size 100k
     notifempty
     missingok
     copytruncate
     noolddir
}

That's extreme of course, and I might as well just send it to /dev/null 
instead, but it works.
