- I think it's something to do with kmsg being open and the old kernel message
- trap being in use at the same time. I did exactly the same when I was
- looking at what needed doing to syslog. My system seemed a bit slow, then I
- ran out of disk space. Catting from /proc/kmsg seems to cause the old
- syslogd to receive the same kernel message over and over and over... Of
- course, I had syslogd logging kernel messages in /usr/adm/messages!
-
- Get the new syslogd :-).
