Sorry for following up on my own posting. I just checked the OpenSolaris sources and it is definitely something specific to Solaris. The /dev/log device can only be cloned up to LOG_NUMCLONES times which is defined as 16 in <sys/log.h>. Every open call on /dev/log clones the device and since it seems that /dev/log is not closed when a HUP is received the number of clones accumulate until after the 16th HUP signal it tries to execute open64("/dev/log", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY) which results in an ENXIO error. Can this be fixed easily?
