Hi Joe,

I propose to first rename the log, adding .bak at the end, flush file
buffer to disk (sync) and then write the new log file from memory to
disk, thus always having a recent backup.
Thank you for reporting this.
I'll implement some backup scheme similar to what you propose as soon as
possible. Maybe it should be controlled by an option and disabled by
default, given that the current method is more efficient and seems to be
safe enough (no complaints in 14 years).
Best regards,
Antonio.
