As far as I can tell, on the DECstation, the /etc/syslog program turns
newlines at the ends of syslog messages into spaces in the log files.
In other words, if I log the string "foobar\n", it will show up in the
log as "foobar ".
This is not correct behavior. On other platforms, '\r' and '\n'
characters at the ends of logged messages are removed before logging
occurs.
