amavisd logrotate

[Tobias Oed]

Hello,
for the second day in a row, amavis fails to restart properly
after its logs are being rotated. This is the end of the
previous log amavisd.log.0: (edited a bit for better readability)

Apr 29 00:00:20 /kolab/sbin/amavisd[890]: (00890-04) Not-Delivered, ...
Apr 29 00:00:20 /kolab/sbin/amavisd[890]: (00890-04) Blocked SPAM, ...

Apr 29 00:02:28 /kolab/sbin/amavisd[890]: (00890-04) SMTP shutdown:
   tempdir is being removed:
   /kolab/var/amavisd/amavis-20080428T235828-00890

And this is the beginning of the new log amavisd.log:

   2008/04/29-00:01:05 Server closing!

So the old instance hasen't quit yet while the new one is already 
started. When this one tries to bind to its socket it fails because it's 
already in use.
Anyone seen this before? What can I do to prevent this from happening? 
(yesterday it took 6h to catch up on old mails).
