This might depend which platform you are on though...

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for your reply. This particular Apache is running on FreeBSD. But 
we are starting to think that maybe the person originally responsible for 
the machine may have been fiddling with some script.

The behaviour seems to be that it starts at the top of the error file 
after a restart, but sometimes also leaves a 'gap' between new messages, 
like it's using some pointer list... That's how my collegue describes it.

Greetz,
Marc

If I were you I'd reconfigure the logging from scratch!  The Apache docs are
here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/logs.html
