+Subject: logger: always update header when read from stdin
+
+The current code updates the header only when the priority has been
+changed. It's incorrect because wanted is a valid header or each entry
+(don't forget that logger for stdin use-case is used in pipe to log
+long-time running processes).
+
+This patch also fixes the initial timestamp; it was originally generated
+on logger startup, it now generates the header on the first message.
+
+$ (sleep 2; date; sleep 2; date; sleep 2; date) | logger --stderr --no-act
