I have no idea (yet) who and why decided that port 65534 is so sweet, =
but it sure does remind me of the case of Rui Paolo =
(http://gabucino.be/files/netbsd-paolo-sigfpe.html), and the =
Wikipedia-certified division by zero in ping.
Additionally, NetBSD syslogd is only bugged with the -s option. Do note =
that for example FreeBSD's syslogd -s works as expected.

You would need to change this PR to be:
- fixed
- changed to request a manual page fix to specifically document this =
inexplicable behaviour of SecureMode
