very strange behaviour!

if i launch syslogd in debug mode, it works:

as you see, it products the correct output (with  perl -MSys::Syslog -e 
'Sys::Syslog::syslog("local6|debug", "this is a better test: %d", time);')

but if syslogd is started by svcs, it products nothing!

One difference i note is that in mode debug, pfiles <pid-syslogd> shows 
/dev/udp and this doesn't exist when started by svcadm
