Agreed. My only (strong :-) objection to the changes concerned the .5
second delay. I think that the root-slot increase and the syslog change
were both good improvements, and want to thank JD for adding them.

Oh, and the syslog limiting is important even though syslog consolidates
duplicate messages, it only consolidates sucessive duplicates. If anything
else is logging while these messages go by, that logging will destroy the
duplication, so the messages will get logged.

Take care,
