Debugging a panic, it is helpful to know what was going on right
before failure. There might have been a SEL entry right before
("RAM failure"?). There's a big difference between these two logs:
17:45:10 RAM failure bank blah blah blah
23:30:31 oops...
and
17:45:10 RAM failure bank blah blah blah
17:45:11 oops...
How about use the time stamp in the _first_ record, then leave it
out. Put it back in if more than 10 seconds have elapsed since
the last stamp. Then for prolific messages you don't consume
much, but you still have reasonably accurate times for for
sporadic messages.
