Nominating for StableReleaseUpdate: As per procedure: 1. Impact: Discards log data then the log files grow above 2GB => Severe dataloss. 2. The issue was fixed during Edgy development cycle in Debian and hence imported to Ubuntu. 3. Proposed patch attached. 4. You can reproduce the bug on a current Dapper system sending data to syslog until the syslog file hits 2GB. After that, nothing will be logged. With the patch applied the syslog will keep growing as expected. 5. The patch seems well tested and no reports of regressions have been found.
