openlog

[dcharno <dcharno@...>]

 The GNU libc manual says the pointer to ident in openlog is retained and the memory shouldn't be freed. I noticed the openlog binding in luaposix doesn't do anything special to make sure the string isn't garbage collected and neither do most FFI bindings for syslog. I haven't experienced a problem (yet) so maybe it isn't an issue. How do people handle this in their bindings.
