Bug#1531: syslogd continues to write to old file after savelog

[andrew@kryten.it.com.au (Andrew Howell)]

I just looked into this a little more. It seems that the /var/run
file for syslog has changed. /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd tries to
do this.

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

but the file in /var/run is now this

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            3 Sep 28 13:53 syslogd.pid
