So how about creating a dedicated user for xfs, and moving logs to a
/var/log/xfs/ directory where this user can write?
Please send the messages to syslog instead of a separate log file. It
make it easier to track issues with xfs across several machines, and
solve the problem

Not at all, good catch. I just didn't know it even has a log file.
How about compiling with -DUSE_SYSLOG?
I must admit, I would prefer xfs logging to syslog. When debugging

Just FYI, I've been running xfs with this patch for the last few
days and don't have any problems. Could this be uploaded to
unstable to get xfs back into testing?
I can NMU if the maintainers do not have time to work on in soon.
Happy hacking,

One question though: how can xfs reopen its log file when running

Add -user nobody -droppriv to the xfs command line arguments.

Yes, I think we shouldn't have xfs running as root in lenny.
Can't this bug now be dealt with simply by using start-stop-daemon
--chuid (not sure which user. Will nobody do ? Or daemon? If not
xfs) ? Or is there some subtlety preventing this from solving the
problem?

You'll need to add a new system user in postinst, too.
Why must it have a new system user? I would expect nobody to be a
user with no privileges, and thus perfectly usable for this purpose?

If you tested that and are confident that it works, sure. I never
used xfs myself, so I don't know.
I am quite confident that user nobody will have the required acces to
the font files. But I just tested modifying /etc/init.d/xfs to
include --chuid nobody, and it fail to
