[Bug libc/1499] New: syslog.c:openlog_internal cuts _PATH_LOG


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 :)
