Some questions:

1. Does the respective /bin/sh -c die?
2. Does a new rotatelog process get forked after the restart?
3. What is the parent process of the hanging logrotate process
4. What version of Solaris do you use?
5. Could you please truss /bin/sh -c and logrotate during the restart with
   options -faedl -vall -rall -wall?

Sounds reasonable to me.
