Hi, It turned out recently that the Linux libc (2.0.7 or below) emulation of poll system call is buggy. If it passed -1 as timeout (infinite), it returns immediately. This may cause bad behaviour of syslog-ng or lsh, if compiled under these systems. Future versions of libol will have a workaround this bug. -- Bazsi PGP key: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt, or finger bazsi@balabit.hu
