I am sorry for reposting, but I did not plan it that way:

Glibc 2.3.5
( GCC 3.4.4, BinUtils 2.16.1, Linux 2.6.13.2 )

After changing misc/sys/syslog.h _PATH_LOG to something different,
sysdeps/generic/syslog.c:openlog_internal starts cutting this path
to 14 bytes while copying to a sockaddr, maybe because it thinks it
knows the variable.

I do not know the correct solution to this, at least I did not find
documentation that clearly states that this macro is fixed or has a
maximal length. But I guess allocating enough memory for it should
not destabilize glibc.

PS: If this is wontfix or similar, i would still like to see some
patch for it :)

I checked in a patch on the trunk.
