It's a known issue, but no suitable solution (that doesn't break in
interesting ways under pressure) has been found yet.

Since CAP_SYSLOG breaks userspace, I'm hoping that this will be reverted
before the 2.6.38 release. Though, looking at recent lkml traffic, I'll
have to Cc a few more people regarding the issue.
