I like the idea of replacing the strtok() call with sscanf()
but I see problems.

It won't work if log_filename begins with a space because
(the docs say) that a space in the sscanf() format represents
any amount of whitespace.

As written, there's a potential buffer overrun in log_format.
You could fix this by making log_format as large as lbuffer,
but this seems clunky.
