Hi, I think this bug might be the problem bugging me for the last month. It is a remote box, running sarge, kernel 2.6.
Every seven or eight days, I couldn't login though ssh, or even through serial consoles. Apache2 runs fine though. A reboot solves all the problem. But there was nothing in the log files for me to investigate. It seems to me syslogd just vanished. Nice work to find this bug. Thanks. Qingning
