The attached patch for version 1.2.12 fixes two problems in org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender.  First, it doesn't close the writer and as a result leaks UDP sockets.  Second, when logging an exception, it assumes that all lines after the first line start with a \t character.  If this is not the case, it removes the first character from the line (or throws an exception if the line is empty).
