I tried to submit a ticket for this but it kept triggering the spam detecting...
When files are rotated they lose their buffered flag, this is because
File::Open only does a SetBuf when it opens the file itself, but Rotate calls
rotate_file to open the file.
It's a one line fix, I'm not sure if it would be better to call SetBuf at the
end of Rotate or if the call to SetBuf in Open should be moved outside of the
if( ! f ) block.

Sorry about that, I'll add an account for you now.
If anyone else runs into issues with this, send me or Robin an email and we'll get you setup with an account on tracker. We've had to continually make the ticket tracker more and more restricted due to trouble with spammers. At this point, you really need to have an account to file or comment on a ticket.

This seems to be related the issue that seems to be coming up more and more frequently where any attribute applied to a file is lost if a new file is assigned to the variable. I'm wondering if when a file value is assigned to a variable, we should be copying the attributes from the existing variable to the value that's going to be assigned. It would mean that the attributes are more directly attached to the variable than the value for files, but I'm starting the think that's the correct behavior. Robin, Vern?
