/proc/kmsg and klogd read the same thing.

An ugly possible event: if you have both of these going on at the same
time, a linux kernel could eventually run out of space writing to kmsg
and be unable to dump the log. It will stall, but not crash, your
system. The only way I found to free it was alt-scrollock from a
console.

Turn one of them off. I suggest turning off klogd and using /proc/kmsg
in stead.
