yeah, good point.  you almost had me going there.  I was going to blame
logrotate for not timing the logrotation with the reload properly, but
this 'failure' on the part of apache-ssl occurs with or without log
rotation, from cron or from the command line.  It appears to be
apache-ssl and apache-ssl all alone.

thanks for the idea, tho.
