+ * pinotree sighs at #645790 :/
+ <tschwinge> pinotree: W.r.t. 645790 -- yeah, ``someone'' should finally
+ figure out what's going on with syslog.
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2008-07/msg00152.html
+ <tschwinge> pinotree: And this...
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2007-02/msg00042.html
+ <pinotree> tschwinge: i did that 20 invocations tests recently, and
+ basically none of them has been logged
+ <pinotree> tschwinge: when i started playing with logger more, as result i
+ had some server that started taking all the cpu, followed by other
+ servers and in the end my ssh connection were dropped and i had nothing
+ to do (not even login from console)
+ <tschwinge> pinotree: Sounds like ``fun''. Hopefully we can manage to
+ understand (and fix the underlying issue) why a simple syslog()
+ invocation can make the whole system instable.
+ <pinotree> tschwinge: to be honest, i got havoc in the system when i told
+ syslog to manually look for /dev/log (-u /dev/log), possibly alao when
+ telling to use a datagram socket (-d)
+ <pinotree> but even if a normal syslog() invocation does not cause havoc,
+ there's still the "lost messages" issue
+ <tschwinge> Yep. What I've been doing ever since, is deinstall all
+ *syslog* packages.
+ <tschwinge> This ``fixed'' all syslog() hangs.
