2.0.4b: logrotate problems with rh60

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 17 Jul 99, giulioo at tiscalinet.it (Giulio Orsero) had questions 
about 2.0.4b: logrotate problems with rh60:

Does your source have the patch for the above 64-bit glitch?  Do 
you compile your own kernel too?

No way.  It works fine with 1.9.18p10 on RH4.2 (kernel 2.0.30, all 
libc5).  Even 0 byte logs are correctly rotated and compressed 
(they're not good for much, but they're there).  What version of 
logrotate are you running on DG/UX?  The only bummer with the 
rotated log files is the text gets re-wrapped to even length lines 
:(
