Logs not rotating

["Richard R. Danielson" <rdan vianet on ca>]

I am having a problem with my log rotation on an RHEL3 ES system.  The
message received at about 4am is the following:
 
ALERT exited abnormally with [1]

The main difference between the scripts on version of logrotate and the ones
on my previous RH7.3 system is that on this one, wildcards are used to
describe the files to be rotated whereas on the 7.3 system explicit
filenames were used.  Could that be my problem here?  If not, is there
somewhere else I should be looking?  Thanks in advance.
