Ok, that did the trick... But I still get these TONS of
those "syslog() not supportet" messages. A quick look in the linux-emu
sources revealed, that syslog() is indeed not supportet. I'm pretty sure
though, that the program I use does not make any syslog() calls.

Also, other people pointed out that they don't see such messages when using 
f.e. netscape. When I start Linux-Netscape it's almost unusable because it is
busy with logging the "not supportet" messages!

Any clues ?!

TIA,
