The upper-bound doesn't look like it is working since it accepts LONG_MAX as input. I suspect that this is an lxdialog feature or something like that ;)
bb_xx_msg will ever try to send output to syslog.
Add "select CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG" to relevant applets.
This allows to omit syslog code if we do not have
any syslog-capable applets in the build.
You will find in the attached file "syslog.patch" a patch which adds
config options to set at compile time the size of the circular buffer,
and some documentation update.
the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)
I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.
Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

Hi Eric
I have written a small patch for the Busybox syslogd. With this patch
one can limit the size of the messagfile. As soon as the limit is
reached the syslogd can rotate or purge the messagefile(s) on his own.
There is no necessity to use an external rotatescript.
Even if logread does something similar, its very handy to have some
messagefile after your box crash.
I wrote this patch initial vor BB 0.6x where no cron daemon was avail.
Now I adapted it for the new Version and i hope it is still useful. At
least I still use it :-)
bye

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.
