Subject: logger.rb does not rotate files properly

I thought I'd mention that logger.rb does not rotate log files after it
has already rotated once. It does not set the sync flag to true when it
creates a new log file which means the stat.size call will always return 0
after the first rotation.
The following patch solves this issue:

$ diff -Nut /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/logger.rb ./logger.rb
