Works fine here... It shouldn't even matter which syslogger you use, as long as it's running. I assume it was running when you decided to write this bug report.
I don't have any problems with syslog. I have many servers running on the machine and logging successfully. I just never managed to get ldap logging ever working. I have to add "-d 255" startup argument for debugging to see whats going on when I have a problem.
