Description of problem:
Hi!

Some time syslog broken and now each and every log file in my system
only have messages like this:

Jun 21 06:19:57 dsl-prvgw1ib8 last message repeated 28 times
Jun 21 06:21:10 dsl-prvgw1ib8 last message repeated 39 times
Jun 21 06:24:02 dsl-prvgw1ib8

Jun 21 06:27:56 dsl-prvgw1ib8 last message repeated 29 times
Jun 21 06:29:25 dsl-prvgw1ib8 last message repeated 36 times
