Interesting.  So busybox has a pair of code snippets with strong
duplication of funcationality: serveConnection in syslogd.c,
and doKlogd in klogd.c.  Sounds like an opportunity for some
clever person to make a new libbb routine, and save a bunch
of bytes for cases where both syslogd and klogd are configured.
