Description Chih-Chang Hsieh 1999-08-27 04:20:50 UTC 
We have 5 hosts which send log messages to this FreeBSD machine's syslogd.

And this FreeBSD machine sets log messages output to /dev/lpt0.

When I turn off the printer's power for adding paper, after a while,

the FreeBSD machine hang up -- I can not get any responses from console

and I can not connect to it by ssh (it has run sshd). 

But it is not down yet -- It is still alive when I ping it.

When I turn on the printer's power (it prints some messages out), 

it responses as normal.

Fix: 

I have no idea about it.
How-To-Repeat: 
	As Description.

Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, 
such as 4.3-RELEASE?

E-mail sent to originator bounces.  Many changes have been made to 
syslogd, so it's probable this has been solved.  If it hasn't, a 
new PR should be opened.
