Architecture: arm
Machine: shark
>Description:

After upgrading my arm to -current (x-compiled from i386) I get errors from
newsyslog. I recompiled it native and it still fails the same way.

newsyslog: config line 7: bad flags.

That is with the default newsyslog.conf file. Looking at the code and
digging a bit around: "ap" is NULL", *q is 0. This can not happen in the
loop, AFAICT, so this seems to be a compiler issue.

I have not been able to reproduce it with a simple test example though.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run "newsyslog" on a shark -current with default /etc/newsyslog.conf.
