Dont know....

I could have a *special config file* for my kernels...
I remember NetBSD-1.2 and my problem of talkd not working...
The solution was uncomment "options COMPAT_43" and compile
a new kernel.

I never knew if this was a bug... And maybe this situation of
syslogd is simmilar.

Sometimes happen rare things...
