tail -f deletes logs? (WAS: problem reading logs)

I have errors using tail -f to read my log files.  If I have the tail -f
command running when the log is supposed to roll over (midnight) then it
does not copy the log, but just truncates it.  I lose a day's worth of logs.

Has anyone else seen this?  Any workaround?

Not sure if this post was related:
