That should be fixed by the current version. Please update.

That should be fixed since revision 1.370 from Jul 7th, 2004. Please update.

Actually before 1.393 you got a buffer overflow if any string in the
configuration file was longer than 500 chars, so it's a miracle that your elogd
did not crash on the long Welcome Title. I added the "vsize" parameter to avoid
such crashes. To satisfy your need for a long Welcome title, I increased the
string size for that particular case to 10000 chars. Hope this is enough.

Hmmm, it is a wonder.  Our welcome text was not significantly longer (about 20
chars longer) so perhaps . . . ?

Thanks, will recompile and report back.
