Around line 2240 (in loc()) in elogd.c the following is written, 
which results in an infinite loop, since loc() recursively with
the same argument "Change %s".

   /* special case: "Change %s" */
   if (strstr(orig, "Change ")) {
      sprintf(result, loc("Change %s"), orig + 7);
      return result;
   }

For now I just commented these lines.

Somehow elog does not use the -s option (subdir) anymore,
resulting in a 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found' error.

For now I am using elog from version 2.3.9 together with elogd v2.5.0,
which seems to work OK.

Maybe consider using the options -W -Wall when compiling elogd.
There are several warning messages.

This problem has been fixed recently. The new code is

   /* special case: "Change %s" */
   if (strstr(orig, "Change ") && strcmp(orig, "Change %s") != 0) {
      sprintf(result, loc("Change %s"), orig + 7);
      return result;
   }

Alternatively you can get the updated version from CVS.

Thanks, I did so.

Oops! I 're-used' the '-s' flag for email suppression, so it was actually 
double used. I changed the email supprssion flag to '-p', so '-s' should 
work again for specifying subdirectories.

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':

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"
