If isdnd turns the acctfile and logfile on SIGUSR1, the script/program has always the option to turn them before sending the SIGUSR1. In this case the rename() of isdnd will fail (which should not be error), but the new names of the files are under control of the script/program. So, with the patch applied both ways are possible.
