No, I don't think there's a bug. At least with log files created with
"log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log" there's no problem with
renaming. /var/log/smb is still used, but it doesn't get big. My setup
is essentially the same as yours, only I don't run swat (and I've
upgraded to samba 2.0.9 due to the known bugs recently).
Have you tried to once rename the file by hand and look wether the
problem is reproducible when it comes to renaming the file again? You
should perhaps create a big file so that you needn't wait for weeks...

P.S. I only read debian-user-de.
