Well, I've been trying to understand what's up. Read match.c, your 
"script" matched any string up to the first space, then it needs to 
see a space, 'm', 's', 'g', space and whatever.

If I understand correctly what multilog.c does, it runs the script on 
a timestamped line; therefore a line like
@800000523452363.34123 msg something anything
would get filtered out (if such a line appeared), but
@800000053264564.43567 new msg 81221
does not; '-* * msg *' matches such a line.


Can someone confirm that? Thanks
