Security event log exceeds configured size limit

Hello,

Recently encountered a scenario where a customer I'm working with has one
domain controller whose event log (SecEvent.evt) is ~440MB. Problem is that
their default domain controller policy very clearly states that the max
security log size should be 128MB. What is particularly confusing is the fact
that when viewing the properties of the log on the DC in question, it also
states that the max size is 128MB. The problem DC happens to be the PDC
emulator.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
