Only very few functions are allowed to be called from signal handlers. This is clearly spelled out in the POSIX spec. Section XSH 2.4.3 lists the allowed functions. syslog of course is not on it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
