OK, I've got it: syslogd.c, fork() in line 893.

[...]
                      if (fork()) {
                                /*

                                signal (SIGTERM, doexit);
                                sleep(300);
                                /*

                                exit(1);
                        }
sleep(3);
                        num_fds = getdtablesize();
                        for (i= 0; i < num_fds; i++)

After adding sleep(3) line it seems to work, but as I expected - this is
race.

OK, you've got everything to fix it. And don't say I've done nothing.
