[syslog-ng] Message length

Well, UDP itself allows to send data up to 64k, as IP itself
handles fragmentation/ reassembling. What kind of messages
are you trying to log? logger shouldn't replace anything. It
simply uses openlog and syslog under the hood, so the log
gets prepended by the facility/severity information and the
timestamp.

Did you straced logger?
