Sigh, I didn't supersede fast enough...

This is correct.  What I forgot to mention in that earlier version of
my posting was that I gave ftpd its own copy of syslog.c.

The moral of the story is not to post either late at night (when the
first article went out) or early in the morning (when the superseded
artcles went out).  Perhaps in midday...

PS: Just for the record I corrected that error the article before I
had read Louis' article. :-)
