Almost :-).

The -l option doesn't cure it - at least not as
"/usr/local/sbin/wwwoffled -c /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf -l
/var/log/wwwoffle".  Perhaps you had other differences as well.
(Actually the -c flag is redundant now as that is the compiled-in
default.)

However your patch is successful.  I'm now using 2.8c1 - actually still
with the -l flag as I haven't removed it (yet) from the start-up script.

Many thanks.
