I have a daemon (namely ctld(8)) that, when running with debug enabled,
outputs a lot of information to the syslog, using the usual syslog(3) API.
Problem is, the output gets truncated: at some point the log messages
from all involved processes stop getting logged, even though the processes
continue to run, confirmed by subsequent kernel messages, which get logged
properly.

Any idea what might be going on?
