I think the renaming fails because Windows is picky about not messing with files that are open. Can we close the log file before rolling? Seems like nslog does this for the access log. Just needs to be done similarly in nsd/log.c. That might require copying a bunch of stuff over from nslog.c or putting the common code somewhere else. There's certainly seems to be a lot of redundancy between the two sets of code, a great candidate for streamlining.
