syslog not logging linefeeds

[Cicero, Marlon]

I'm using "\n" in my Strings, but instead of a linefeed in the syslog, it
actually shows a "\n".  Any ideas?  I noticed that the exception hierarchy
is separated by newlines in the syslog so there should be a way to do it.
I'm using log4j 1.2.7 and JDK 1.4.1_01 on Solaris 2.7.  Thanks!
 
 
Console output that converts "\n" to newlines:

Sample code:
 
...
   PatternLayout patternLayout = new PatternLayout("[%-5p] [%c] - %m%n");
...
   logger.debug("debug:\ndebug logged");
   logger.info("info:\ninfo logged");
   logger.warn("warn:\nwarn logged");
   logger.error("error:\nerror logged");
   logger.fatal("fatal:\nfatal logged");
 
   try
   {
    throw new Exception("exception:\nuser-generated exception");
   }
   catch(Exception e)
   {
    logger.debug("Exception caught", e);
    logger.info("Exception caught", e);
    logger.warn("Exception caught", e);
    logger.error("Exception caught", e);
    logger.fatal("Exception caught", e);
   }
