I did the following:

vi /etc/syslogd.conf and change the following line

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none            /var/log/messages

to

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none            -/var/log/messages

service syslog restart

Shutting down kernel logger:                               [  OK  ]
Shutting down system logger:                               [  OK  ]
Starting system logger:                                    [FAILED]
Starting kernel logger:                                    [  OK  ]

Remove the change and all is well.  Seems to only happen on this line. 
Anyone experiencing the same thing?
