Well, I guess that's what I get for writing a run-on sentence
(sometimes referred to as "writing a paragraph using only
one period"). Try reading it as:
"Improving interactions between log-files-given-on-command line
and config-entries-that-use-G"
It's the combination of the two which can run into problems, so
that is one issue, not two separate issues.
I should also note that this only MFC's some of the updates that
were made for improving those interactions. This won't fix the
problems that come up when mixing the two. I'll soon MFC the
remaining newsyslog updates, which will include more improvements
in this area.
