I don't have experience with logrotate ... anyhow, how are you generating the log file? Have you written your own Qt message handler, or are you just forwarding e.g. the stdout to a file?

If you have written your own message handler, keep in mind that it has to be reentrant ... that is, it might be called concurrently from different threads.
