Yes, we do.
This isn't an invented problem; a brief canvass on IRC shows that people
run into issues with log_collector reloads fairly commonly. However,
it's pretty low priority, certainly -- never rises above the level of
"annoyance". The sort of thing where it would be good to have a
bugtracker to put it in so the next time someone is working on the log
collector for other reasons they can tweak this too, or when some new
hacker wants an easy first patch.
