This isn't a bug any more then any other UN*X stupidity you could care to
name including other cases nearly identical to this one like tabs not
being the same as spaces in sendmail.cf and Makefiles.  One thing you can
do in this case is use a sanity checker for syslog.conf files like the one
I wrote.  You can get it at:

It's based on the Sun syslog manpage, but I think it should work with
other normal syslog.conf files.
