I am very sad you've closed the PR.

I see, but this problem is not concern about syslog(3).
>LOG_KERN | LOG_NOTICE == LOG_NOTICE, as LOG_KERN is defined as (0<<3).
Yes, I know, of course.
LOG_NOTICE is decoded to <5>, so LOG_KERN | LOG_NOTICE is <5>, not <13>.
13 = (1<<3) | 5.

Is it right?
I say that about logger(1).
Please see main() on /usr/src/usr.bin/logger/logger.c:
----------------
int
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
int ch, logflags, pri;
char *tag, *host, buf[1024];
tag = NULL;
host = NULL;
pri = LOG_NOTICE;
logflags = 0;
unsetenv("TZ");
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "46Af:h:ip:st:")) != -1)
(snip)
----------------
This shows the default value of variable "pri" is "LOG_NOTICE",
it is not (LOG_USER | LOG_NOTICE) as you said.
And, logger(1) don't use syslog(3) functions, simply send a UDP packet
to the port 514.
