... 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.
