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.
  624   Wed Jul 28 18:25:32 2004 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comBug reportAll2.5.4?getcfg problem in v1.410: Truncation of long config strings
Just compiled 1.410 and have run into an issue that *may* have been
introduced in 1.393.

Config file directives such as "Welcome title" could be very long strings. 
After compiling 1.410, our "Welcome title" is truncated and, while I haven't
counted the actual chars, I suspect that the truncation happens at 1024
characters.  The procedure 'getcfg' has a declared passed paramater "int
vsize". 

I haven't looked to see if this effects any other large configuration
strings that are managed by "getcfg" but this procedure is perhaps the most
popular one by far in elog.

Thank you very much Stefan!!!

Also the horizontal alignement with "Format = 1" looks much better   as before
with standard css files! Really great work!

Thank your for this hint, I changed my Makefile for the production code. However, I
could not feel any difference between the two options. The real problem is the
function getcfg(), which gets called many thousand times internally and has to parse
elogd.cfg each time. Once I implement a hash table for that function, elogd should
become faster by at least a factor of two.
