Re: syslog and LOG_KERN broken

... and which is broken.

For proof, restart syslogd. Notice that klogd doesn't log any more;
you'll have to restart klogd to fix it.

(I just observed this on RedHat 5.1.)

That kind of bug, long-solved in the glibc version of syslog(), is
the reason why "has its own ANYTHING" is a bad idea in general.
