>Description:
In order to rotate logs regularly, newsyslog has been configured to handle
apache log files. Here is a sample line :
/var/log/httpd/www.log 644 30 * $D0 Z /var/run/httpd.pid HUP

But sometimes, apache segfaults. Here is the error message in error_log :
Nov 21 00:00:51 yoda newsyslog[7045]: log file turned over

[Sun Nov 21 00:01:03 2004] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in
 the parent process

I suspect a race condition between the apache childs and the parent.
