Nothing. I'm having this on one of my PCs with an old syslogd which worked in UNIX stream mode. Other syslog servers I have are running in UNIX dgram, just like the ones from this code's contributor.

I'm thinking about a way to support stream sockets for logging (both unix and TCP), but it will take some time as it requires adding a log buffer.

In the mean time, maybe you can find something to change your syslogd's configuration ? At least I don't know how to do that with sysklogd.
