I have no idea why syslogd should be behaving this way -- as far as I know the rc5v2 client has no interaction with syslog. Are there any messages in /var/log/syslog which accompany this behavior? What command line are you starting the rc5 client with? (try 'nohup rc5v2 &') Maybe someone else has some clues?
