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

Thanks, will recompile and report back.

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.

Can you try if you can reproduce the problem with the current version? I tried
your settings and could not reproduce it. I remember that I fixed some problems
with quick filters, but that was some time ago (Apr 04). If the problem
persists, can you send me your exact elogd.cfg?

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

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

Yes, I fixed this. Revision 1.412 under CVS, new snapshot for Windows at the
download page.
