Not sure if it is the same, but I had this problem with another log file, and
found that copying it instead of renaming it, and then removing the file
worked. Probable renaming keeps the file handle the same, and it continues
to access the same file. Removing the file after copying make it create a
new one. It might be the same with this one.
