   My first impression of sysklog was poor -- multiple bugs bit me:   
      
     * Pointer error causing truncation when forwarding to a tty   
     * Pointer error causing overread when scanning message buffer   
     * Logfile corruption by control codes in kernel messages   
     * Memory leak in socket table breaks message forwarding   
      
   But Mr Wiberg was very responsive and welcomed patches. These   
   problems were all resolved in sysklogd 2.4.1 (1-Aug-22). So I   
   continue to use the patched sysklogd with confidence.   
      
   Note that Slackware 15.0 (stable) still has sysklogd 2.3 (27-Nov-21)   
   so still has these memory and logfile corruption issues. That's   
   risky given that sysklog runs as superuser, but looks like it will   
   not get resolved before the final release of Slackware 15.1.   
      
   Cheers! Edward
