Ideal compression is based on a known PMF. Actual compression is based
on a heuristic PMF. A header changes that heuristic PMF, some

Hi all,
So, I got tired of trying to make sysklogd play nice with musl, and I
built this[0].
It probably needs work, but I thought I would request comments. It's the
syslog for my toy/personal obsession distro. I think it adheres to the
suckless philosophy pretty well. It opens a UNIX socket at /

Ah, that was it. I had

Removing the staticness fixed it.

How much of util/ needs to be pulled in if one copies arg.h and its
fairly awesome ARGBEGIN, etc.?

Pretty sure it's a lemma.
Dot is great. It also doesn't do what I'm looking for, and isn't even a
"program" in most sense of the word.

Gah! Sorry, all. Worse yet, it was the local time on my laptop (though I
