I've actually seen lost and partial/mangled messages come out of syslog -
during a 7Mbit/second DDoS that was being logged due to ipchains ... -l.
Not that this happens _too_ often - we're talking 58k lines of log in a
very short amount of time.
(I agree with Lamar - it's just a "I've seen it happen" :)
