I can see this in the new log file that has a ton of empty lines at the top:

The longpoll requests are because the android lite client is insane and makes multiple requests per second, regardless of whether or not the app is running in the foreground or background, and that’s why the sync gateway logs fill up so fast. But I can see in the middle of those requests that it says “Reloading Config…”, which is what I usually see when I send the kill -HUP signal. Isn’t that supposed to start a new log file, instead of continuing at the same location in the old one?
