I made a minor change to my torrc file and sent tor a SIGHUP. The only logging I'm doing is "notice" level to a file. Here's what has been going on since the SIGHUP.

And so on. Is the duplication of messages after a reload a known bug? Please note that the double logging I reported earlier has been corrected by commenting out the --Log stuff in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor, so the new double logging appears to be a different problem.
