Send a SIGHUP to syslogd. That should fix the rotation. The issue is that the syslogd is writing to an inode, not a filename (it still has the handle open when logrotate renames the file, so it keeps writing to it until told not to via SIGHUP.
killall -HUP syslogd Best guess is the SIGHUP was never received by syslogd on one of logrotate's passes. Probably changed PIDs due to a restart of some kind after logrotate had started, but before it finished. You can configure logrotate to copy/truncate instead of move/SIGHUP to prevent this in future, but you risk losing any entries logged between the copy and the truncate. So it's up to you which is more important - getting every log entry (which you are now, at risk of rotation breaking down) or keeping rotation stable (at the cost of maybe losing a few log entries in the few milliseconds between copy and truncate).
