Log rotation broken?

[Steve Francis]

I have lots of networks to scan, so scans take several days. When I 
rotate the file /usr/local/nessus/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages , and 
send the master nessus process a HUP, I no longer get activity logged 
for the still ongoing scans.

e.g. right now I have a scan running, rotated my log file, sent a HUP, 
and the entire file consists of:
cat /usr/local/nessus/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages
Mar 26 23:00:00 rack1-401 newsyslog[99331]: logfile turned over
[Mon Mar 29 15:09:48 2004][81258] nessusd 2.0.10 started

Yet the scan is proceeeding - with no way for me to see what is going on.

Is log file rotation not supported while a scan is running?
THis is using nessusd 2.0.10.
Thanks
