Found an error in EPICS/base/src/util/iocLogServer
that prevents it from starting correctly on
my Solaris 2.5.1 platform.

Here's the version information from the source code file:
 * $Log: iocLogServer.c,v $
 * Revision 1.26  1997/06/25 05:59:23  jhill

Here's the error message from the faulty version:
# /etc/rc2.d/S99logServer start
Starting EPICS Log Server 
File access problems to `/home/vme/log/iocLog.text' because `Illegal seek'
exit

Here's the fix (from diff iocLogServer.c.old iocLogServer.c):
320c320
<               if (ret==TF_OK) {
---
>               if (ret==TF_ERROR) {

Looks like a simple logic error was the culprit.
