Very strange. I have no idea what's going on there. One thing you could try is to let your syslogd add "mark" messages. These are logged at the "info" level, so you have to add that level to your /etc/syslogd.conf. By default they're logged every 20 minutes (you can change that with the -m option). Oh BTW, what are the contents of your /etc/newsyslog.conf file? Anything unusual there?
