Took me a bit longer to find the bug then I thought it would (it was kindof
subtle). syslogd read a buffer from the socket, and printed one and only
one syslog entry from the buffer. If the buffer contained multiple syslog
entries, all entries after the first was lost.
Anyways, it is fixed now in CVS.
