Well, it looks like it got better, only about 100 of these "ch..." type

Thanks for testing. I check the XS code in the Unix::Syslog module,
and it seems to properly deal with the ident argument of openlog,
i.e. it makes a copy of the SV object and passes a pointer to that
copy to syslog(3). But checking the Changes file of this module,
indeed it had problems there - but that was fixed in January 2002.
Which version of Unix::Syslog do you have?
$ perl -le 'use Unix::Syslog; print Unix::Syslog->VERSION'
Mark, I'm running version 1.1, and CPAN reports that:
Unix::Syslog is up to date (1.1)
Anyway, thanks for your help with this Mark. It's certainly not a
critical issue and I'll be upgrading this server to Fedora 15 once it's
released in May and also upgrading to the latest version of Amavisd-New,
as well.
Hopefully something in the upgrade of the OS, Perl, and Amavisd-New will
resolve this strange logging issue.
Thanks again!
Bill
