Hi all,

So we ran into an issue with "Large message size" warnings filling up
the ossec.log file and causing the file to grow out of control and use
up disk space. I went ahead and commented out the lines in
read_syslog.c and read_multiline.c to prevent this from happening in
the future, but then noticed after starting OSSEC back up, that the
full commands weren't running.

I made sure to backup the original ossec-logcollector, and when I
restored it and restarted OSSEC, the full commands showed up as
running in the ossec.log

At first I thought it was the changes I made with commenting out the
"Large message size" lines, so I deleted the dir, untarred to a fresh
folder, and compiled straight away. Copied the ossec-logcollector
over, restarted OSSEC, and no go with full command.

Is there something I'm missing when compiling in src/logcollector? I
noticed that read_fullcommand.c does exist in this directory.
