            Bug ID: 241269
           Summary: syslogd fails to log anything if there is a unicode
                    character in the hostname of a machine
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: sverre.el...@modirum.com

I have this machine that has a single unicode character (a monkey) as it's
hostname.. In the past this has worked quite well but now syslogd doesn't log
anything at all. I am not 100% sure when the regression happened, but I suspect
it was around February this year. 

Turning on the debug-flag I see the screen filling up with:
Failed to parse HOSTNAME from and then every single line of output that should
have been logged. 

I suspect this might happen to anybody that has a funky character in their
hostname.
