Hi,
Always impatient... because nobody answered my mail within one hour or so,
I decided to solve the problem myself ;-). Here's a patch for sysklogd 1.3
that solves the problem of the "Too many open files" after sending several
SIGHUP signals.
I'm not sure about any unwanted side effects, so I hope one of the sysklogd
maintainers will look at it more carefully and confirm whether this patch
can be applied without danger. It seems to work fine for me, at least.
