Running "syslogd -d -s -s" and checking out my usr.sbin/syslogd
sources from various dates, I tracked this bug down to changes made
between Aug 31 2001 and Sep 1 2001.
In my /etc/syslog.conf I changed /dev/console to /dev/ttyvb so that
all messages are redirected to /dev/ttyvb (where I would easily spot
them, and do not clutter my active console).
Here's the output of two builds of syslogd with sources from the dates
mentioned:
hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# cvs up -A -P -d -q -D 'Aug 31 2001'
hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# make
hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# make install
hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# syslogd -d -s -s
off & running....

So, the sources of Aug 31 seem to run perfectly fine. Trying the same
with the sources of Sep 1, I get the interesting output shown below:
hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# cvs up -A -P -d -q -D 'Sep 1 2001'
hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# make

hades!root:[/usr/src/usr.sbin/syslogd]# syslogd -d -s -s

The following patch seems to have fixed the bug for me.
