  Log:
  Remove a trailing newline, to behave as documented in syslog(3):
  "A trailing newline is added if none is present."
  
  The code in syslogd, stderr, and console output always adds a newline
  at the EOL.  However, the existing code never actually removed a
  trailing newline, and apparently relied on syslogd to convert it
  into a space character.  Thus, the existing newline was converted
  to a trailing space at the EOL by syslogd, while stderr, and console
  output resulted in an empty line.
