Also see this in ALPHA at CERN. Eventually there are so many defunct elogd processes that the user runs out of "maxproc" quota and automatic submission

of elog messages starts to fail. (and the users complain, reboot all computers, etc).

icon1.gif   elogd complains about unknown cookies, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Wed May 20 01:45:09 2015 
elogd is spewing these messages about unknown cookies:

Received unknown cookie "is_returning"
icon1.gif   elconv deletes everything, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Wed May 20 01:49:37 2015 
Converting from elog 2.9.something to new elog 3.1.0 elogd refuses to start, instructs running elconv in one logbook.

When I do so, elconv converts a existing mhttpd-style elog entries to the new format (the corresponding new-format entries already exist)
icon1.gif   this elog errors sending email, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Wed May 20 01:52:23 2015 
this elog gives errors sending mail through PSI email server. (did not capture the error messages, sorry). K.O.
icon1.gif   edit somebody else's draft, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Wed May 20 01:54:55 2015 
this elog offers me to edit a draft message, then yells at me "only some other user can edit this draft!!!".
methinks I should only be offered to edit draft messages that I own or I can edit. K.O.
icon1.gif   elogd moves elog entries, posted by Konstantin Olchanski on Wed May 20 01:59:17 2015 
elogd 3.1.0 moves all elog entries into year-named subdirectories. this feature makes it incompatible with older elogs and so should be clearly mentioned
in the documentation,
in the release announcement and in the release and migration notes. K.O.
