Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.39-1
Severity: normal
The syslog(3) man page says
"A trailing newline *is* added when needed",
but in this bug report (from the syslog-ng maintainer)
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=963
the libc6 maintainers cite the Open Group spec:
"A trailing <newline> *may be* added if needed."
and interpret it to mean they don't have to. As a result, the
behavior is different depending on whether one is using sysklogd or
syslog-ng.
I'm not sure whether this is a bug in the manpage, syslog-ng, or libc6,
but I'm starting here ...
