Anything that gets logged by the filter before openlog() is called (which 
happens late in the filter startup process) goes to the default facility 
which is probably "daemon".  Everything else should go to the requested 
facility.

Calls to syslog() don't let the code specify which facility to use.  You 
specify that once, with openlog().  If your syslog daemon is writing some 
things in the wrong place, it's a bug in your C library or in the daemon 
since the filter itself doesn't make that request explicitly.
