Modified CheckVersion()
. Use shift to decode the kernel version
. Compare integers of kernel version
. extract major.minor.patch from utsname.release via sscanf()
The reason lays in possible use of kernel flavours which
modify utsname.release but no the Version_ symbol.
Added support for TESTING define which will turn klogd into
stdio-mode used for debugging.

Used unsigned long and strtoul() to resolve kernel oops symbols.
Redirected some error output with regard to argument parsing to
stderr.

Applied patch provided vom Topi Miettinen with regard to the
people from OpenBSD. This provides the additional '-a'
argument used for specifying additional UNIX domain sockets to
listen to. This is been used with chroot()'ed named's for
example.

Added `ftp' facility which was introduced in glibc version 2.
It's #ifdef'ed so won't harm with older libraries.
stdio-mode used for debugging.
. Reworked the initialization/fork code. Now the parent process
activates a signal handler which the daughter process will raise if
it is initialized. Only after that one the parent process may
exit. Otherwise klogd might try to flush its log cache while
syslogd can't receive the messages yet.
<F.Potorti@cnuce.cnr.it> (closes: Bug#20903)
* Corrected email address for Shane Alderton (closes: Bug#20765)
* Fixed manpage to not reflect reverse implementated SIGALRM signal
handler (closes: Bug#20647)
* Modified behaviour with including <sys/module.h> (closes: Bug#20556)
* Added correct prototype for llseek() (closes: Bug#20507, Bug#20220)
* Added more log information if problems occurr while reading a system
map file.
* Modified System.map read function to try all possible map files until
a file with matching version is found.
* Added Debian release to klogd
* Switched to fgets() as gets() is not buffer overrun secure.
* Modified loop for detecting the correct system map.
* Corrected debug output concerning remote receiption
* Removed race condition in syslogd-listfiles
* Modified logfile detection routine to take care of double listed
logfiles. Thanks to Roman Hodek <roman@debian.org> for providing an
appropriate patch. (Bug#17000)
special messages from 2.1.78. Thanks to Chu-yeon Park
<kokids@doit.ajou.ac.kr> for informing me.
* Fixed bug that caused klogd to die if there is no System.map
available.
* Added -x switch to omit EIP translation and System.map evaluation.
Thanks to Florian La Roche <florian@knorke.saar.de>.
* Fixed small bugs in F_FORW_UNKN meachanism. Thanks to Torsten Neumann
<torsten@londo.rhein-main.de> for pointing me to it.
* Fixed problem with klogd not being able to be built on a kernel newer
than 2.1.18. Worked in a patch from Alessandro Suardi <asuardi@uninetcom.it>
* Reworked one line of an older patch because it prevented syslogd from
binding the socket with the result that no messages were forwarded to
other hosts.
* Changed the behaviour of klogd when receiving a terminate signal. Now
the program terminates immediately instead of completing the receipt of
a kernel message. (Bug#16796, Bug#16828, Bug#16148)
* Noticed a bug which was closed by 1.3-18 (Bug#14776)
* Changed Maintainer address to joey@debian.org
into trouble upgrading a RedHat system.
* Fixed little mistake which prevented klogd from accepting a console
log level of 8 to get <7> alias KERN_DEBUG displayed.
* Linked against libc6 (Bug#11731)
* Added SHELL=/bin/bash to rules as Herbert Xu suggested
* Corrected syslog.conf(5) manpage
* syslogd resets the ignore priority flag now. Thanks to Herbert
Thielen. (Bug#12009)
* Fixed bug that caused syslogd to write into wrong files under some
race conditions. Thanks to Herbet Xu. (Bug#13506)
* /var/log/auth.log will only be touch if needed (Bug#14329)
* debian/conffiles is treated like a document (Bug#14521)
* Added script for generic logfile detection and rotation and included
that in cron scripts, included also its manpage (Bug#14610)
* Modified restart messages in /etc/init.d/sysklogd (Bug#15840)
* klogd will first try to load /boot/System.map-$ver, then
/boot/System.map, then /System.map-$ver and after that /System.map
* Modified ExpandKadds() because there were some problems accessing
memory r/w. (Bug#15336)
