I fixed this problem in revision 1.586. It will be contained in the next release.

Thanks, I did so.

So I fixed all compiler generated warnigns except these:

[midas@pc2075 ~/elog]$ gcc -g -O -W -Wall -o elogd src/elogd.c
src/elogd.c: In function `set_cookie':
src/elogd.c:4675: warning: `%y' yields only last 2 digits of year
src/elogd.c: In function `send_file_direct':

src/elogd.c:15864: warning: empty body in an if-statement
src/elogd.c: In function `hup_handler':
src/elogd.c:15870: warning: empty body in an if-statement

Do you know how to disable these warnings or any other workaround? I would 
like to compile without any remaining warnings.

Have a look at the gcc info pages:

$ info gcc "invoking gcc" "warning options"

Sure, I'm not stupid! I looked for ~10 minutes how to turn off the remaining 
warnings, but I could not find it. The code is now correct, like I do want the 
"%y" format specifier in the strftime() function, but the warning is wrong. The 
closest I came to was 

-W -Wall -Wno-format

which removes ther warning in strftime(), but I do want this warning, since it 
helps in many other printf() statements.

  Sorry, didn't mean to offend you.

  One way to remove the warnings would be to use "%Y" in a separate strftime() call
  and then taking only the last two digits (characters) of that string.

  Something like:
old:
   strftime(str, sizeof(str), "%A, %d-%b-%y %H:%M:%S GMT", gmt);

new:
   strftime(str, sizeof(str), "%A, %d-%b-XX %H:%M:%S GMT", gmt);
   strftime(year, sizeof(year), "%Y", gmt);
   i=strstr(str,"XX"); /* find position of XX */
   if ( i+1 < sizeof(str) ) {
     str[i]  =year[3];
     str[i+1]=year[4];
   } else ...

  Somewhat cumbersome, but should work.  Maybe consider using the four 
  digit year directly, where possible.

This must be related to the unknown cookie "style". There was some work recently on elog to make it robust against unknonw cookies. The latest modification was on version 2192, and you probably have an older version. I made a release elog276-2.exe for you. Try it and let me know. You can also just delete your cookies in Firefor and it should be fine, but it's better not being able to crash elog.
