Several months ago someone on -security was complaining about syslogd
hanging when logging from remote hosts. I've since been affected by
the problem myself and looked into it closely.
It appears syslogd is suffering from a problem with the way the
resolver handles interrupted kevent() calls. This problem was fixed
back when the resolver used poll(), but the fix was not retained when
refactoring with kqueue()/kevent().
I've submitted a bug report and patch, bin/26665. Please take a look.
Thanks!
