I want to test this without leaving "sizeof _PATH_DEV" surrounded by spaces,
with sizeof() explicitly using parentheses.  I'm not sure where the
undefined behavior is triggered, but this is a very likely point, and
the source of syslogd.c is just full of this.

I have it fixed now in my local CVS tree.  Hopefully Kris will commit
something to fix it soon :-)
