In that case, the answer is that it won't grow out of bounds. Its strictly
one line per cache entry, so its size will change (and grow dramatically
when you first start squid until the disk usage reaches cache_swap), but it
will always hover around a fixed size.

I've always thought the name "log" for this file is a bit of a misnomer.
