Can a correct fix be implemented.  This is the output from a strace on the
packaged version of syslog:

6880  open("/var/log/mail.log",
O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY, 0
644) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)

Applying the supplied patch, and recreating/reinstalling the package fixed
the problem.  The file was 2.5Gb at the time of the upgrade.
