I have an Oracle 8.0.4 database running on Windows NT. There are two redo log groups with size of 5M for each redo log. Ever since the creation of the database, there has been inconsistent archive logs generated. Some with the same size of redo logs, many of them with very small size like 500 bytes. It is a development database with very light activity.

Is this a bug or did I miss something?

log_checkpoint_interval = 10000
log_buffer = 163840
log_checkpoint_timeout = 1800
log_archive_buffer = 4
log_archive_buffer_size=127

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
