It's exremely likely.

I wrote my own routine to rotate logs and tested it here with a newer 
    version of Apache than's shipped with RH4.2.

Implemented it on www2.ami.com.au and found my server going offline at 
    midnight.

I've dowloaded & compiled apache 1.2.4 but not yet installed it. AFAIK 
    this will cure the problem.
