[syslog-ng]doesn't write to file after logrotate

Hello!
I've configured some destinations (e.g. /var/log/syslog,
/var/log/cron.log, /var/log/dhcp.log) - all the same.
Then I've configured logrotate to rotate all these logs
and automatically create a new one after rotating.
The syslog-ng and logrotate-configurations for these files
are exactly the same (just the filters are different), and
it works fine for all except /var/log/dhcp.log. After it is
rotated, syslog-ng doesn't write to it anymore, for the other
log's it does.
If I restart syslog-ng, it starts logging to /var/log/dhcp.log
again.
Always restarting syslog-ng after rotating dhcp.log isn't really
a solution, are there any hints what I can do to solve this problem?
regards
