Very true, this will do the trick:

	kill -1 `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`

Otherwise Apache will start writing at the same offset
i.e. leave a load of blank space at the start of the new
log file. I'm not sure whether this is written as a
sparse file or not (if so it's not too much of a problem
but the reported size might end up a little scary :)
