[PATCH] innfeed does not reopen (rotated) log file

The only issue I could think of is that the current sighup() function 
reloads innfeed.conf.  This file would therefore be reloaded everyday, 
which might cause a problem if it has changed and the news administrator 
still has not wanted to reload it.  An automatic reload of innfeed.conf 
would then have innfeed shut down (if for instance the syntax of the new 
innfeed.conf file is wrong).
