Subject: Bugs in newer updates w/ Debian install? 
I just updated ELOG using the latest elogd.c, and now my Quick Filters seem 
to stop working after the first or second filter attempt. I find that if I 
allow fewer quick filter options it seems to work more consistently. For 
example:

Example 1-
Quick filter = Date
The date filter will work without a problem no matter how many times I use 
it.

Example 2-
Quick filter = Date, Category, Status, Priority
The first filter I use will work, but upon trying a new filter, or just a 
new option in the same filter, all options return to "All Entries" and no 
filter options have any effect on the view.
If I exit the log book, and come back in, it works for the first filter 
attempt, then stops again.

This used to work fine prior to the update. I should also mention that the 
original installation of ELOG was from the Debian package. At that point, 
nothing was where the documentation said it should be (e.g. elogd.cfg was 
called elog.conf and was placed in the /etc/ directory). Everything worked 
fine, so I left it alone. When I recompiled with the newer elogd.c, 
anything that required a path was hosed, so I now have to specify the 
resource directory and the path to the conf file when starting ELOG. I 
don't know why this would affect the Quick Filter, and I'd assume that it 
would just stop working all together. Also, when I recompiled using "gcc -
O -o elogd elogd.c", I received the following warning:

elogd.c:546: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `logf'

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
