Hi. I'm running dnsmasq on an embedded mipsel system (uClibc-0.9.29). Sometimes
syslog daemon is not activated for this system. When running dnsmasq without
syslog it caches its syslog messages and tries to send them continuous with
some pause. This prevents dnsmasq from exiting. Attached log shows an strace of
dnsmaq when executing "killall dnsmasq". After some time I start syslogd and
dnsmasq sends its messages and exits.

Is there a switch to avoid this behavior? "--log-async" doesn't seem to prevent
this.
Thanks,
