I have yet to see a 'lost' syslog message here, in over three years.

Which is worse, though:
1.)    An occasional lost log message;
2.)    Downtime due to pulling down the entire server to rotate a log.

If syslog looses messages, let's try helping fix syslog rather than
recommending Yet Another Log Rotating Solution.
