Hm, I'm not sure what SigQ is, but the other values match what I see for
a logging collector process on my Fedora 16 box ... and that process
responds to SIGHUP just fine. (I believe the rightmost bit of these
masks corresponds to SIGHUP, so this is saying the process is catching
SIGHUP and not currently blocking it, which is what it should be.)

Do you want to try attaching to the collector with a debugger and seeing
if it ever gets into the "if (got_SIGHUP)" block in SysLoggerMain?
