This is _still_ a syslogd problem. This is bourne out by the fact that
/var/adm/messages has not been updated since October 9:
ldm@dot% ls -l messages*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Oct 9 04:05 messages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 7447 Oct 3 23:14 messages.0

I tried sending a HUP to syslogd (by running 'hupsyslog' as 'ldm'),
but saw no changes.
My only recommendation now is to try rebooting.
