if you've not already gotten the answer to this, you want to use tsleep().

umm, think about this for a second...  so, you write it it with log(),
which puts it to the message buffer, but _NOT_ the console...
(printf() sends to both the message buffer _and_ the console).

so, the next time syslog gets run, it'll print out the message...
but since you've _panic'd_ that's _NOT_ going to happen until after a
reboot, at least...  On boxes which clean memory when rebooting
(e.g. most i386en), you'll never see the panic message.  "not a feature."
