Looking at the code, it's really hard to see how this could possibly
happen, unless maybe the process is blocking receipt of SIGHUP.  Which
it shouldn't be.  Not sure about RHEL5, but on recent Linuxen you can
check the process's signal masks like this:

    grep ^Sig /proc/NNNN/status

where NNNN is the logging collector's PID.  Could we see that?
