- changed some error messages during init to be sent to the console
and/or emergency log. Previously, they were only seen if the
-d (debug) option was present on the command line.
+- fixed the "2gb file issue on 32bit systems". If a file grew to
+ more than 2gb, the syslogd was aborted with "file size exceeded".
+ Now, defines have been added according to
+ http://www.daimi.au.dk/~kasperd/comp.os.linux.development.faq.html#LARGEFILE
+ Testing revealed that they work ;)
+ HOWEVER, if your file system, glibc, kernel, whatever does not
+ support files larger 2gb, you need to set a file size limit with
+ the new output channel mechanism.
+- updated man pages to reflect the changes
