named exits on SIGHUP?

Hi folks,

when I kill -HUP named on 5.3 (BIND 9), it exits, instead of reloading, 
as stated in the manpage.  Is this normal?  I think it's rather 
impractical, since it prevents proper log rotation through 
newsyslog.conf (when using "file" logging in named.conf).  It doesn't 
seem to matter if it's running chrooted or not.
