>Description:
syslogd's die() (in syslogd.c) contains a recursive call to itself if
closing a udp socket fails. This is currently (-r1.135) on line 3017.
It looks like most but not all of the cleanup code is idempotent, so
if this path is ever reached it will probably SIGSEGV.
>How-To-Repeat:
Code reading.
>Fix:
Change the close call to (void)close like the others, I guess. Anyone
have contrary opinions?
