Apple Bug Friday! 74
This bug is Typo in syslogd(8) manpage. It was filed on 2008-01-19 at 15:41 PST.
Summary:
The description of -fs_ttl refers to -utmp_ttl, but the reference contains a typo.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Results:
“As in the case of -utmp_ttl, …”
Actual Results:
“As in the case of -utmp_tt, …”
Regression:
None. syslogd did not have a -fs_ttl option to describe, nor a -utmp_ttl option to refer to, before Leopard.
Notes:
The typo is that the U+006C LATIN SMALL LETTER L at the end of “-utmp_ttl” was omitted.
The omission must be an error, not a deliberate reference to a -utmp_tt option, because there is no -utmp_tt option.

If you make that much effort for a trivial typo (the fixing of which will no doubt spare people agony), how much effort would it take to file the ‘make syslogd ≠ crap’ report?
I had to kill the little POS again when it used 100% CPU and 200MB RAMthis afternoon and as a consequence I’m left without working logs…

Can’t say as I’ve had that problem. Have you filed a report yourself?
