I did test it. Contrary to -27 this time I directly tested it on
my log host which makes heavy use of syslog due to a lot of pop3,
news and smtp activities. (and not on the compile host).
However currently -29 stops syslog'ing at all. I'm about to cry and
quit this stuff.
Would you like to test a pre-release of -30? Again, on my server
it runs as expected. This release contains a patch against the
former version.
