And then in article <425@gazette.bcm.tmc.edu> sob@watson.bcm.tmc.edu (Stan Barber) writes:

It will work, as long as you #define LOG after the #ifdef SYSLOG -- #endif
because if you #define it before, LOG winds up being #undef'd.

I've verified this more than once.  Everything works fine if LOG winds being
#defined somehow.  It just seems that the #undef LOG should be #define LOG
(at least that's what the comments seem to be saying).  Or perhaps it should be

#ifndef SYSLOG
#undef   LOG
#endif

Even the comment says "you can only have LOG if you have SYSLOG."
