As I mentioned in another thread. I have noticed that the journal, once 
in a blue moon, dumps the entire journal to the syslog daemon. Not sure 
why this happen, but it is really annoying.

Look at the syslog files, the lines you are missing are probably above 
the Sep 21 line.

I have net (yet) bothered to file a bug on it (or search for bugs about 
it), but perhaps it is time to do so. The journal should not do this.
