@@ -5,3 +5,34 @@ REPEATED LOG LINES
    the duplicates are NOT suppressed. This is done by sysklogd
    in all cases. We plan to add this as an optional feature,
    but as of now every line is logged.
+
+ERRORS ON STARTUP
+   Error reporting on startup is not particular good. We handle all
+   errors correctly, but sometimes a message is only reported if
+   running in debug mode. If you experience some strange behaviour
+   I suggest to run the syslogd interactively with debugging enabled.
+
+VERY LARGE LOG FILES
+   We have done nothing to support log files larger than 2GB. As such, it
+   behaves just like sysklogd in this regard. And, as far as I recall, this
+   means that - at least with certain glibc versions - no more than 2GB
+   will be written. This will be checked and supported at a later time, for
+   now just be careful ;).
+
+EQUALLY-NAMED TEMPLATES
+   If multiple templates with the SAME name are created, all but the
+   first definition is IGNORED. So you can NOT (yet) replace a
+   template definition.
+
+MEMORY LEAK ON HUPING
+   Currently, the template memory is NOT freed when SIGHUP is received.
+   This causes a small memory leak on each HUP. Will be fixed soon and
+   should not cause real trouble unless you HUP syslogd quite frequently.

+Updates to the bug lists (and potential fixes...) can be found at the
