Loosing STDOUT after file rotation

I have a program that I have the is supposed to run forever. I log any
output to a log file. It is run in a startup script like thie:
program_name >> $err_log 2>&1
The problem is that after newsyslog rotates the $err_log file, no more
data is written to the file. I can not stop and restart the program. I
can accept a signal. But what do I need to do in "program_name" to allow
the data to be written after the "rotation" of the file.
Thanks,
Jim
