elogd does not exit if there is an 'unprocessed' HUP.  So when you do 

kill -HUP <pid>
kill <pid> 

elogd will only exit after it was accessed.

God really STRANGE and problematic effect on 2.5.5-1 (can't remember it this
was with 2.5.5 or 2.5.4-X but i'm nearly sure it worked well):

Entering a date (Formate Bithday = date) may crash down the server:
Value is 22.2.2004: Everything is well
Value is 22.2.1962: Server crashes emmediatly (menas restarzing several
times, always the same problem)

I do not have time to check true all the years for finding out where the
problem may beginn, sorry. Also I was not able to check on other systems
right now. My system: Win XP Pro SP 1, IE 6 as well as Mozilla Calssic 1.7.3. 

Didn't check it under Linux right know in case of a lot work.

Clould you this fix please Stefan???  THANK'X!!!

you are right ;-( I used a different code in my test and sent you and old test code, *but* also the last 
one does not works on every browser ... the following code would do the job, but it seems to work only 
in gecko-based browsers such as mozilla, firefox and safari ... 
 
<div style="width: 200px"> 
 <img src="IMG_3133.jpg" style="max-width: 200" /> 
</div> 
 
other browsers do not scale the vertical dimention :-( 

Using 2.5.8, if I set "Protect Selection page" to 1, then elogd seg faults
as soon as it is accessed.

Under 2.5.7, a login page will come up, and the logbook will work, but only
if a valid username/password is given.  If an invalid login is given, then
elogd crashes.  We have a cron job that periodically restarts elogd if it is
has crashed.

donno if the following is correlated, otherwise there is another problem I
guess :-)
I attached a strace of elog, hope you'll find it useful.

- Irestarted the daemon
- attached strace to it
- requested the list for a testin logbook, few entries some quite big images 
  (two thumbnails, the other are old images get resized my the browser)
- repeted previous point a couple of times
- press F5 (mozilla-firefox)  the browser hangs 4ever
- stop the load
- repeat point 3, all right
- F5 => hangs
- F5 => hangs

there should be some problem, may be in the socket ?

Hi,
I'am using Elog V2.5.8-1 and the "Preset Text" option don't work more since 
I've updated Elog. could you fix it?
Thanks.
