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.
