This not only accumulate log files but this leads to a completely unnoticed failure of the log rotation system. A quick & dirty fix is to replace the "return 1" at line 971 in config.c with a "continue" .

According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166510 this has been fixed in FC6 logrotate-3.7.4-10.fc6, and rawhide logrotate-3.7.4-11.fc7 nearly 2 years ago.

Backporting those changes is a huge work and upgrading to the latest version would definitely be the right solution.
