Andrew,

Hmm. I just sent a bunch of stuff to /dev/console including a "tail -f" on
a writing log file as you did, but didn't see anything unusual.

I then removed the /dev/console line from syslog.conf and started syslogd,
but it had another tantrum.

The finger is still pointing to the following MFC (from cvsweb):

----8<---
CVS log for src/usr.sbin/syslogd/syslogd.c
Default branch: MAIN
Revision 1.59.2.4 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Tue Jan 9 06:51:37 2001 UTC (2 weeks, 5 days
ago) by phk 
Branch: RELENG_4 
Changes since 1.59.2.3: +3 -1 lines
Diff to previous 1.59.2.3 (colored) to branchpoint 1.59 (colored) next main 1.60 (colored)

MFC: Add LOG_CONSOLE and make sure it doesn't end up on /dev/console.
----8<---

Maybe the committer, Poul-Henning Kamp, can shed some light. I've CC'ed
him on this. If that doesn't get us anywhere, I'l go ahead and file a PR.
