Hi drieux -
Long time no hear; I hope you are doing well.
I think it may have something to do with metalog 0.7 (???). That
seems to be the big difference here (although I must admit other
processes have no trouble logging).
I agree, there is an unresolved issue here - metalog, perl 5.8.2,
Sorcerer, etc., but I'm going to duck it for now so I can get this
project out the door (read $MONEY$). I'll keep a lookout for
other logging bug-a-boos in the meantime, and, hopefully get
back to a better analysis later. Larry and Tom, you guys wrote
Sys::Syslog many years ago, any ideas?
