This is a production server, so I'm not going to stop & restart unless
it's really necessary.
Interesting idea about the old log file being deleted. I could still
see the file listed in the directory, though, and could read/edit it.
Thanks for sharing the ideas.

As long as it continues to log after you start PostgreSQL with the
file already in existence, I guess that's not it. You did try a stop
and a start, and ensure logging still works?
By changing the log directory, I must have caused the logger
process to obtain a new file handle, or something along those lines.
Perhaps you somehow deleted the file while PostgreSQL was still
running? It would still be linked to the old copy, and would happily
write to it even though you couldn't see it....
Just brainstorming....
