1. We've got some ancient code here that's trying to open stderr (fd 2) itself,
in case it cannot write there for strange reason. POSIX defines the three
standard streams (and associated fd's) to be available on program startup
(when main() is reached). One needs a sledgehammer for breaking a system
so much that this doesn't work anymore - even calling a program directly
from /etc/inittab does provide them.
2. The current implementation is not POSIX conformant - it should use freopen(),
and it leaks FILE structure.
3. stderr is set to buffered mode, quite the opposite of POSIX - it states
stderr shall NOT be buffered. Simple and obvious reason: not risking vital
error information getting lost.
4. Placing The logfile in /usr/adm - an ancient, pre-FHS, directory that rarely
exists on modern systems. That's even hardcoded, instead of derived from
build-time given installation pathes.
Conculusio: obsolete and broken, thus removing it.

Several pieces of the code, as well as drivers are using %X, which

In the longer run, we'll have to decide whether we actually want to
implement the upper-case directive or change all callers to lower-case.
But for now it's better to just accept %X and interpret it as lower-case,
in order to fix those error messages. Whether it's printed as upper or
lower case is more or less an aesthetic matter.
