I was chatting with Chris on IRC, and tried to start syslogd with -s. The bug does not seem to appear in my syslogd, which was compiled when I did my last buildworld on Aug 25, 2001. I'm looking at the diffs from Aug 25, so if I come up with sth by running syslogd with -d, by tomorrow I'll have spotted this in more detail - probably replying with the patch to fix it too. Off to buildworld and bed, 'nite all. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
