+JH/02 Bug 728: Close logfiles after a daemon-process "exceptional" log write.
+      If not running log_selector +smtp_connection the mainlog would be held
+      open indefinitely after a "too many connections" event, including to a
+      deleted file after a log rotate. Leave the per net connection logging
+      leaving it open for efficiency as that will be quickly detected by the
+      check on the next write.
