Comment 16 for bug 19889

Is there a new upload for sysklogd in the works? This bug is repeatable
and it causes real data loss if a log file grows to over 2gb in size.
Changes to the rules file to get the LFS_CFLAGS were wrong. The patch is
simple:

--- debian/rules.orig 2005-09-03 22:34:01.000000000 -0700
+++ debian/rules 2005-09-03 22:33:10.000000000 -0700

Thanks.
