I just checked the LATEST sysklogd package (v1.3-0) available from sunsite and tsx-11, and it _still_ has the version bug :-(
To patch the sysklogd source code, edit the function CheckVersion() in the file ksym.c, and change line 406 from: auto char vstring[6]; to: auto char vstring[9]; Which is plenty of room for versions like v255.255.255 :-) (v255.255.255 = 0xffffff = 16777215 which is a 9 character string)
This bug affects all v2.*.* kernels. (v2.0.0 = 0x20000 = 131072 which is a 7 character string)
