What I ended up doing in the end was shipping a version of Sys-Syslog 
0.17 that skips the "make test" stage, which can lock-up.
0.16 doesn't work at all on some systems, and 0.17 "make test" locks up 
on other systems.

I wish the author of this could get his act together and produce some 
code which worked, it would make my life a whole lot easier :-(
