[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#932094: wicd-daemon: some log messages do not appear correctly and are mixed up with other log messages

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: wicd-daemon
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: normal

In the wicd log file:

[...]

utoreconnect
Throttling autoreconnect
[...]

and similar problem in other places.

Thus there seems to be something completely wrong with the logs:
* Why no date for "Throttling autoreconnect"?
* Why has such a message been split by other log messages?

For the second item, I suspect some buffering issue. But I know
almost nothing about Python.

The concerned buggy log messages are:

  Starting automatic reconnect process
  Throttling autoreconnect

which both come from print from monitor.py (I got no other messages
from monitor.py).
