If you ever see a dump taken *before* JES is up, you can see all messages for the current IPL. Using ipcs verbx mtrace, they are formatted as being on the 'delayed issue queue' (if memory serves right). I believe this is the same queue that synchronous WTOs are buffered on until they can be shown in regular hardcopy log. Once JES comes up and the tcb in *master* responsible for writing syslog connects to it, the messages are taken from the delayed issue q and sent to syslog using the original time stamps. That's why they are timestamped *before* the message that tells you a syslog was initialized.
