Subject: Bug#3751: xconsole stops logging when syslogd is hupped

From: Ian Jackson <[email-masked]>

Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2-9

If you send syslogd a SIGHUP then xconsole stops logging messages,
presumably because syslogd has closed and reopened the pipe.

The messages sit around in a buffer somewhere and appear if you cat
/dev/xconsole or restart xconsole; when the buffer is full later
messages appear to be lost.

Ian.
