This bug has been open for more than 6 months with no fix. It's caused by
an error in the rules file, causing syslogd to be built with incorrect
large file support. There are two lines that need to be altered. The
patch to fix the problem is inline below. It was also attached to the bug
earlier. The bug renders syslogd useless when log files grow over 2Gb.

Is there a new upload for sysklogd in the works? This bug is repeatable and
it causes real data loss if a log file grows to over 2gb in size. Changes to
the rules file to get the LFS_CFLAGS were wrong. The patch is simple:

From what I can tell, CFLAGS isn't picking up the results of "getconf
LFS_CFLAGS" in debian/rules. A diff is attached. Please apply and push
out an update. Having to rotate logs every 4 hours is painful. Thanks.

what arch? i can't seem to reproduce this with i386 and i686
I can confirm this on i386. System is stock sarge. syslogd was built
locally from debian source packages with a small local patch (at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=273269) to syslogd.c to
prevent dns lookups for remote loggers.
