It must be killed and restarted manually. Oddly enough, it *will* log itself being killed, but otherwise it logs nothing. >How-To-Repeat: Simply wait and log a whole *pile* of stuff. We're logging a lot of stuff on one of these machines and syslogd seems to not handle it very well. Considering upgrading machine to 3.0-RELEASE if no workaround or patch information becomes available. >Fix: None, unless you consider restarting it manually a 'fix'. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
