I guess that I've identified the offending part of the code. However
i don't know why it didn't work. Mainly it is described in the bug
wrt OpenBSD `-a' feature. After disabling that one syslogd runs
perfectly on my loghost again, and there are lots of messages through
syslog, so I guess it works again.
I'll upload it later.
