Hi,
doing this
--
$ absurd? export LANG=<LOCALE-ID>
$ absurd? logger -p daemon.notice "Huhu"
--
results in the following log entries in /var/log/daemon.log:
LOCALE-ID Log entry
C "Mar 12 17:14:16 manwe absurd: Huha"
de_DE (ISO-8859-1) "M�r 12 17:16:43 manwe absurd: Huhe"
de_DE.UTF-8 "Mar 12 17:18:02 manwe Mär 12 17:18:02 absurd: Huhi"
Imho, this is buggy in two ways:
a) The callers environment should not influence the encoding used in
the log file - i.e., at least for automatically added parts like
dates. Allowing different text encodings in one file makes it virtually
impossible to interpret it.
b) (At least) for UTF-8, the format actually seems to change in a
suprising manner ;).
For a), the solution should be to set a fixed locale before calling
any locale-aware (date) routines. b) might be a c-string side effect
from a date conversion that results in a string with at least one
2-byte character (i.e., the bug does not occur in February/Februar ;),
so this too might be fixed with the fix for a).
MfG,
Stephan

This bug was fixed in 2.3.2.ds1. I've closed this bug.
