Regarding a message of yours from a May 2011, I have an 8.3 i386 system where syslogd has been found spinning the CPU a few times in the past week. 

The stack trace is similar to yours:

#0  0x4810cfa9 in _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb () from /lib/libc.so.7
#1  0x4810f890 in _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb () from /lib/libc.so.7
#2  0x48116bbe in free () from /lib/libc.so.7
#3  0x0804c7e6 in init ()
#4  <signal handler called>
#5  0x48194af3 in select () from /lib/libc.so.7
#6  0x0804e147 in main ()

On this system, syslogd is configured with a pipe to sshguard to monitor failed logins.

In my searches, I have not noticed any resolution for this issue -- any chance I've missed one?

Thanks,
Guy
