It's not like it's going to kill the protocol if we add a few bits. If we're talking #'s, 256 seems like a ridiculously large #, and almost safe. I know, I know, a few bits here, a few bits there, pretty soon you're talking real... but I think even adding some 10 or 20% of padding to the final log entry length for various overkills to give it added industrial strength seems prudent. Consider how much has changed since syslog came out - if this one lasts as long I'd be happy. (wasteful) dan
