The problem we're up against is explained in src/backend/utils/error/elog.c:
* Our problem here is that many syslog implementations don't handle
long
* messages in an acceptable manner. While this function doesn't help
that
* fact, it does work around by splitting up messages into smaller
pieces.
If you are fortunate enough to have a less-broken-than-average syslog
facility, you could increase the PG_SYSLOG_LIMIT constant defined there.
On the whole, though, I'd suggest not depending on syslog. It has
other issues besides this one, like sometimes losing messages entirely.
