syslog with syscall3

[sounak chakraborty]

dear sir,
i am facing some problem when i want to retrieve the
lines of 

information from the log file i.e from
/var/log/messages
i am using syslog function with syscall3 macro.it is
showing the output 

correctly but whenever i am declaring the structures
of sockets it is 

showing segmentation fault 
how to correctt it 
is it so that my syscall 3 macro changing the program
to kernel mode 

and all the socket functions are not in or different
in kernel mode ?
then what will be the possible solution if i want t
retrieve the 

information from logfile and send it to a file.
thanks in advance 
sounak

Are there any oops messages in the kernel log?

Please post your source code (it is userspace or in-kernel?).

TIA.
