Sorry about the missing subject... It does seem to be caused by the log rotation signal. The entries are not re-created on a restart, nor on full clean shutdown and restart.

Does it do the same thing on a restart of nagios? Also, have you tried shutting down nagios, checking for any old nagios processes hanging around and killing them off, then restarting?
