This patch simply tries to fix the default (stderr + '') which wasn't useful for anyone. Note that there is already a hint in the documentation that says timestamps and PID are not useful for syslog. (Yes, the '' default might be fine for syslog, but I don't think that's a good argument for sticking with it for default installs. I've seen way too many useless log files out there, and at worst we'll have syslogs with two timestamps.)
