Whoops, my apologies.  I thought my comment would be enclosed with the
patch.

I also didn't mean to subvert someone else's bug report.

To reiterate:

The first patch does not gate the replacement code for non-2.6 kernels,
which from my experience, is what breaks the sysklogd build.  My patch
uses substantially the same patch as the first, but also adds some gating
to the code in the .c file to use it only for kernels >= 2.5.0.

If the maintainers would prefer a different bug report be filed thusly,
I'm happy to oblige.  Feel free to undo what I've done here if that's the
case.

Cheers!
