Hi!

I'm using svlogd for apache2 access logs.  However, this is not working
too well.  The problem is that when apache restarts, say a graceful USR1
restart, then it kills the old svlogd and starts a new one fast enough
that I almost always get:

svlogd: warning: unable to lock directory: /var/log/apache2/access:
temporary failure
svlogd: fatal: no functional log directories.

The error log was exhibiting the same problem but then I figured out how
to route the ErrorLog through /dev/fd/3 and then runsv took care of not
restarting svlogd.  So only the access log problem remains.

Suggestions?
