hmm... I don't know. native syslogds open both, so I assume it must have a
reason. I can exactly remember that the door stuff worked this way. For some
strange reason the syslog client NULLs out the argument, but don't ask me
why. The worst of all it is not documented anywhere, and the only solution
would be to disassemble the syslog.o member of /lib/libc.a. I tried but I am
not experienced at SPARC assembly.

hmmm... this most probably means that the received log message doesn't fit
the supplied buffer. Could you provide an truss output on this one?
