From looking at the Solaris syslogd source, there might be race
conditions where sending a SIGHUP and then another well-timed signal
after that would kill it. But I can't see how newsyslog would end up
sending two signals either.
I'm not sure, but I think if newsyslog rolls over multiple logfiles,
it migth HUP syslogd twice, but it might be more clever than that.
