Non native English speaker is checking whether a phrasing should be filed a minor bug report.



  Consider the following:

$ man bootlogd | grep -A4 DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
       Bootlogd runs in the background and copies all strings sent  to  the
       /dev/console  device to a logfile. If the logfile is not accessible,
       the messages will be kept in memory until it is.

I think there is a problem with the 2nd sentence.  Doesn't it lacks an
objective?  Until when will the messages be kept in memory?

  I am asking because I am not a native English speaker.  In the past I was
advised to carefully check before making comments about other people's 
phrasing.  I think that phrasing should be filed a bug against.  The package
is sysvinit-utils.
