The reason I changed dbootstrap and busybox init to do the
openlog("foo", 0, LOG_USER);
syslog(LOG_USER|LOG_INFO, theMessage);
closelog();
thing was that if process A has the log open, and then
process B tries to log stuff, process B loses...
I wonder if somebody has the log locked open.
BTW, sorry I didn't get to look into this today at work.
