thanks

Cleaning up bugs #356700 and #345157 in order to avoid any further
confusion for those who encounter them in the BTS after us.  I reassigned
#356700 to perl before closing it as a reminder that \0 terminators are
required with stream sockets[1].  This fact should be documented in the
Sys::Syslog code!  (Perhaps the Debian perl maintainers could submit a
documentation patch upstream?)
