RE: CRONOLOG: Cronolog concurrance and possable bug

IIRC, that is a known bug.  My records indicate that when I reported it a
couple of years ago, I noted:

  A quick read of the code suggests that at least one of the
  defects is that if httpd restarts during the period, the log
  rotates "in place".  That is generally fine, except that the
  -P symlink is unconditionally overwritten with the value of
  the current symlink.

I haven't looked at it since, although I seem to recall having done a patch
for it at some point.
