You removed the log files, which is a no-no. You effectively set the syslog
daemon into a crazy state and new log data was lost (bug or feature,
dunno; probably known (mis)feature). I suppose it kept writing to the file
descriptor/reference/whatever of the nonexistent file.
You have to reload the daemon so that it knows that somebody has played
with his files on his back.
You can get a clue that this is known by looking at the
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog config file.
