This looks exactly like a well-known bug .. possible in syslogd or
sysklogd. It no longer happens for me -- perhaps upgrade things some.
I keep up with the mirrors so I am usually only a week or so behind the
distribution.
My current Kernel is 2.0.0 and my sysklogd package is 1.3-6.
My libc is 5.2.18-8 and sysvinit is 2.62-1.
(hope this helps.)
