Description

I put the tag disablesyslogclog on my config.xml to disable clog, since I have free disk space and want to keep all log history.
After rebooting the system the log files were created, but they have no data. Then I realized that syslogd was not running, it was returning the following error:

syslogd: child pid 34576 exited on signal 11

Maybe I found the problem.

On system boot, it checks if disablesyslogclog tag exists on config.xml, then create regular files for logs. But the PHP function system_syslogd_start() isn't checking if disablesyslogclog is set and aways set clog of fifolog on syslog.conf. When syslogd open a regular log file and tries to read it as a clog or fifolog file occurs a segmentation fault.

I think the patch attached can solve this.
