Description Leslie Chisholm 2012-09-17 00:06:39 UTC 
Using busybox 1.20.2 we are trying to write log messages to the shared buffer and to a file.

Running syslogd with both the -C16 and -O $LOGFILE switches syslogd will only log to the shared buffer, breaking some of our crashlogging scripts.

Without the -C16 flag syslogd logs to the file buffer but logread doesn't work.
