Hi Mark,

No, this is with the default newsyslog.conf of a fresh
installation.
I've been using -a and -t together on a different machine
with an older version of stable/9 (about half a year old),
and I never got any such error messages from newsyslog
there. However, I did not verify that the rotation
really worked correctly ... I assumed it did. I only
started to look more closely now that I got those error
messages with the recent version of stable/9.
Thanks for looking at this issue!
Best regards
Oliver
