IMO, it should dump to STDOUT/ERR as well...much like apachectl restart.
apache says something like "config is broken, ignoring restart"
i've made changes to the config file before(with errors) never thinking there's a problem. logging continued normally, not error messages i could see.
I'm afraid I agree totally with this... I've done the same thing.
not many people will want to have to check a log file after a restart, they may think "telling it to HUP, didn't report any errors, and my other logs are still there..."
