While you are on the topic of syslog, I've noticed that if a -current or
2.2 system dies without a normal graceful shutdown, the next startup's
syslogd finds /var/run/log and won't bind to the syslog port with a
'socket already in use' error or similar.  Could /etc/rc safely remove
/var/run/log cruft ahead of starting syslogd?
