Moved the log rotation code out of the signal handler and into it's own

function.  The signal handler now simply sets a flag which is monitored
inside the thread_main_loop() function.  The log rotation code has also
been tightened to handle any error conditions better.  Credit to Petr
Lampa for suggesting that system functions inside of a signal handler is
bad magic.
