Environment: Solaris 8 / Generic_117350-13

The problem is that after the system has been running a few
weeks syslog stops working. When I truss "logger" for example
it get's an error when trying to do an open on /dev/conslog:

open("/dev/conslog", O_WRONLY) Err#5 EIO

I've tried the usual things like recreating /dev/conslog
with syslogd running/not running however that did not fix it.

I also did a fuser and killed all processes with open file
handles on /dev/conslog and recreated /dev/conslog with no effect.

Thanks
Troy
