Considering that we need to call that door *every time* we log a message,
wouldn't that be *really* expensive? I'm afraid that will pull in a few
extra libraries into libc.
The current code is broken:
/* output the message to the local logger */
if ((putmsg(LogFile, &ctl, &dat, 0) >= 0) && syslogd_ok())
return;
if (!(LogStat & LOG_CONS))
return;
The call to syslogd_ok() should be done *after* checking that LOG_CONS is
set and the putmsg() failed.
