Solaris2.5.1_x86.PatchReport:104614-01 SunOS 5.5.1_x86: /usr/lib/newsyslog
patch
Solaris2.5.1.PatchReport:104613-01 SunOS 5.5.1: /usr/lib/newsyslog patch
Solaris2.4.PatchReport:104617-01 SunOS 5.4: /usr/lib/newsyslog patch

These are the patches that are supposed to fix that problem,
for the Solaris revs that I know about.
