Bug#586156: sysklogd: strange error messages during boot

2010-08-16 Thread Jindřich Makovička

My system is SMP-based x64 running testing. The problem seems to happen only with lines that use continuation. I narrowed syslog.conf to this. *.=debug;\ auth,authpriv.none;\ news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug It appears that strcpy() is mangling lines that use

This happen to me recently too - amd64 system, sysklogd version 1.5-5. However, it appeared approximately in the same time I upgraded from single-core CPU to a 4-core (or 8-core because hyperthreading) CPU. Could it be some race condition mangling the copy of config file in memory due to SMP?
