no. svc -a should not break the rotating;

but there is something else messing whith the multilog's from cron or
some other time based thing; the timestamps of the files that did *not*
rotate at 13:00:00 BRT are:

	2004-11-21 04:52:41.313865500
	2004-11-21 04:52:41.313615500

	2004-11-22 00:33:10.215929500
	2004-11-23 23:59:49.379070500
	2004-11-25 00:04:24.693561500
	2004-11-22 00:33:10.216150500
	2004-11-23 23:59:49.379265500
	2004-11-25 00:04:24.722503500
	2004-11-23 23:59:49.417103500
	2004-11-25 00:04:24.722694500

see? it looks like some time-based stuff!

if they are doing something harmless like svc -a then it is ok.
but you should try to find what it is just to be sure!
