Ah, I misunderstood you. Yeah, I think you are right: if we are
special-casing the syslogger process anyway, then it need only have
these two behaviors:
not redirection_done: write to own stderr (not chunked) and directly to
file
redirection_done: write directly to file
One thing to watch out for is infinite recursion if the write-to-file
gets an error. I don't remember if we have a defense against that
in there now, but we probably should.
