[syslog-ng]logrotate question (not working with syslog-ng)...

For some reason every time logrotate rotates
/var/log/messages, my syslog-ng stops working.

The permissions look ok..

[office root /var/log] # ls -l mess*
-rw-------    1 root     root            0 Apr  6 04:02 messages
-rw-------    1 root     root       378135 Apr  7 15:15 messages.1
-rw-------    1 root     root       908864 Mar 31 15:50 messages.2
-rw-------    1 root     root      1795514 Mar 25 14:06 messages.3
-rw-------    1 root     root       945373 Mar 19 11:31 messages.4
-rw-------    1 root     root            7 Apr  7 14:24 messages.offset

Why does logrotate cause syslog-ng to not put any new stuff in
/var/log/messages?
