The ".old" extension is used temporarily, between the moment the current 
log is moved (to ".old") and the moment it is rotated (to for instance 
".1.gz").
In your <pathlog> directory, you will only see a "news" log file; the 
"news.old" file does not exist.  And in <pathlog>/OLD, you will see 
"news.1.gz", which allows to sort the log files.
