syslog stopped logging on x86_64?

[Jeff Sheltren]

Ever since updating on the morning of May 10th to the latest  
development packages, my x86_64 machine has not been logging anything  
to syslog.  syslogd and klogd are both running, there is plenty of  
free space in /var, and I have not touched syslog.conf for a month.   
I first noticed this problem under kernel 1287 smp, but it persists  
under 1290 smp.

Is anyone else experiencing this?  On two other FC4 boxes (both  
i386), syslog is running fine.

Another possibly related problem is that an 'ls -l' in /var/log was  
showing lastlog as being 1.2 TB.  df reported only ~700MB used in / 
var (which seems more correct, especially since /var is only 4GB  
large, making it impossible to have a 1.2TB file on it).  I removed  
the lastlog file and touched a new one.  It is now showing up as 5.5  
MB...

Any ideas?
