I guess the main problem with the patch is that it doesn't fix anything at all.

localtime_r/gmtime_r are no more or less async-signal-safe than
localtime/gmtime (as a quick look at the link I had posted would have confirmed
- or alternatively, a look at the glibc source code).

But as I also mentioned, there are more problems with the signal handler code,
like using the global log_buffer or closing the log files in the signal
handler.

Being a bit less arrogant would perhaps have helped you here...
