Package: busybox-syslogd
Severity: minor
The `running' shell function in this script (also used in
/etc/init.d/busybox-syslogd) suffers from a minor race-condition that
causes it to emit irrelevant messages on stderr: the /proc/[1-9]*/stat
glob is expanded first and then passed to `cut' which then has
to open those files, but some of them will have disappeared in
the mean time.
A simple fix is to redirect stderr to /dev/null.
Maybe a better fix is to juunk this `running' function and use one of
the standard thingies like start-stop-daemon instead.
