No more syslog flooding since applying the patch. I'm running NUT on a variety
of kernels:

2.6.19-1.2911.fc6
2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64
2.6.22.14-72.fc6
2.6.22.11-68.fc6
2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6
2.6.22.2-42.fc6

and, as you can see, Fedora Core 6 and 12.

I notice I failed to apply the patch to one host that was spewing, but the
problem seems to have gone away there since I upgraded from FC6 to F12.

Thanks for the patch.
