Known problem and fixed in my patch set. A consequence of brain
damage/laziness on my part in using fprintf instead of fputs. I
should probably release my current patchset to get everyone synced up
after all this time. If I don't get the 2.1.x logging thing worked
around this evening I will toss my current set of patches so that we
can get the major blunders corrected.
