FYI, this is on FC3 running all the latest errata. No one has seen syslogd hang like this? Any ideas how I can figure out why nanosleep is hanging?
Thank you.

I just ran "yum update" and rebooted. syslogd hung on startup, so I rebooted into single-user mode, ran "chkconfig syslog off" and booted back up into runlevel 5.
When I run "strace syslogd -m 0", it hangs forever at the nanosleep call below:
set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0xf6ff1aa0, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 munmap(0xf6ff2000, 55869) = 0 getpid() = 4280 chdir("/") = 0 brk(0) = 0x9d36000 brk(0x9d57000) = 0x9d57000 open("/var/run/syslogd.pid", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
Is there some problem with your /var/run/syslogd.pid permissions? Maybe an selinux issue?
