+ . Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
+   - Close file descriptor in FindSymbolFile() in ksym.c in order not to
+     leak file descriptors.
+ . Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>
+   - improve crunch_list()
+   - Prevent potential buffer overflow in reading messages from the
+     kernel log ringbuffer.
+   - Ensure that "len" is not placed in a register, and that the
+     endtty() signal handler is not installed too early which could
+     cause a segmentation fault or worse.
+ . Steve Grubb <linux_4ever@yahoo.com>
+   - fix memory calculation in crunch_list()
+ . Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org>
+   - klogd will reconnect to the logger (mostly syslogd) after it went
+     away
+   - On heavily loaded system syslog will not spit out error messages
+     anymore when recvfrom() results in EAGAIN
+   - Makefile improvements
+   - Local copy of module.h
+   - Improved sysklogd.8
+   - Always log with syslogd's timezone and locale
+   - Remove trailing newline when forwarding messages
+ . Jon Burgess <Jon_Burgess@eur.3com.com>
+   - Moved the installation of the signal handler up a little bit so it
+     guaranteed to be available when the child is forked, hence, fixing a
+     race condition.  This used to create problems with UML and fast
+     machines.
+ . Greg Trounson <gregt@maths.otago.ac.nz>
