Yes, it does. When the trapd.log exceeds its maximum size then it is copied to 
trapd.log.old (the previous is removed if any)
and new events are written to the new one. You can set its maximum size as well 
as a maintenance script which will be executed
right after copying trapd.log to trapd.log.old. Look at man trapd.

Best regards,
Vladimir.
