    I can't say that this has happened to me really.

    What do error logs give? Do you get any abnormal output from logrotate?
    Or, does it just die because it *seems* it wants to.

    I've had similar problems due to very stale processes (and even after
    <service> stop haven't killed and it's just doing lots of "killall -9"'s
    that has put it all back to normal.
