The logging probably continues to go to the rotated-away file.  The
typical log rotation cron job presumes that the daemons close the log
files periodically.  This is not the case with PostgreSQL.  A good
solution is to pipe your log output to a small program that does the log
rotating (or simply closes the log file once in a while), like rotatelogs
from Apache.
