I did some testing, and this is what I came up with that seems to 
work. Original had just tried deleting the log file, but then later 
usage of stunnel would not add to the file. truncate seems to keep 
the file in a state were stunnel will continue. I used 473 since that 
is the size of my stunnel.log after an original startup. I also just 
used 50000 as a limit size for no real reason.

if [ `ls -l /var/log/stunnel.log | awk '{print $5}'` -gt 50000 ] ; then 
   truncate -c -s 473 /var/log/stunnel.log
fi

Don't know if you current setup has awk or truncate, so it might 
also add a little size. Probable other ways to get the file size, and 
you could then run it with cron, or add a sleep option, and have it 
call itself.
