> Sorry, wrong way. Correct and tested this code:

I think this patch removes a fix to a different problem, which was
that if a syslog server went away for a short amount of time, then
syslogd might stop logging to it all together, until syslogd was
next HUPed. It would be nice to get a fix that stopped the recursive
loggins, but allowed syslogd to recover gracefully from servers
that went away for a short time.
