Subject:   syslogd runaway on 2.2-BETA

Hi,

I just installed 2.2-BETA on a system with an AMD-K75, 8MB RAM
and a Fujitsu IDE drive.  Box also has 3 PCI NE-2000's  I've
got two of them ifconfig'd but only one is plugged into a
network.  I get the same symptoms if I don't ifconfig the
2nd nic.

Everything seems to work fine except for a load average of 1.0
on a quiet system.

top shows syslogd chewing up 99+ % of the CPU

The only thing unusual is that I'm running headless with sc0
disabled.  I do have a getty running on ttyv0 in case I want
to plug a monitor in.

Can anyone think of what might be causing syslogd to act like this?

top, dmesg etc follow

Thanks,
Dan
