fixed Debian bug 536060 (log files are closed after SIGHUP receival)
Explanation:
When run in daemon mode, first the log files are opened. They get
assigned to the file descriptors 3 and 4 usually. Then std{in,out,err}
are closed. When SIGHUP comes in, all open files are closes and
masqmail reexecutes itself. The new masqmail instance opens the log
files at fd 0 and 1 now, but std{in,out,err} are closed afterwards,
thus the log files are closed.
The fix is to close the log files before std{in,out,err} are closed,
in case the log files have higher fds. After std{in,out,err} were
closed, the log files get opened again, now.

1 Howto report bugs
2 =================
4 All non-trivial software has bugs and so does masqmail.
6 If you discover a bug then please report it. Your bug reports are an
7 important help in improving masqmail.
9 Valuable bug report include the following information. The first two
10 are essential, the others can also be added on request.
12 - A good description of what you consider to be the bug.
14 - The version of masqmail that was used. (The output of: masqmail -bV).
16 - A description on how to reproduce it. This includes information on
17 other software that is involved.
19 - The configuration files. These are probably the contents of
20 /etc/masqmail/*. Don't forget to substitute confidential data with
21 placeholders.
23 - The relevant log files. Have a look at the value of use_syslog and
24 log_dir in masqmail.conf. If use_syslog is enabled, the files are
25 probably some of /var/log/mail*. If you don't use syslog, then the
26 files reside unter the path assigned to log_dir, or by default in
27 /var/log/masqmail/. Take care to substitute confidential data if you
28 send debug files. (It's good to run masqmail with `-d 5' or `-d 6' to
29 generate debugging data that may help to track down the bug.
