Summary:                    syslogd includes null-byte in message transmitted to
remote server
Description: 
Log messages transmitted to remote hosts includes a \0 at the end, which
might be an inconvenience at the remote side when filtering or storing the
message. It's difficult to say if this conforms to the standards or not,
since there aren't any, but no other syslog clients I've seen behaves like
this.

Included are tcpdump captures to show the behaviour.
