From syslog.conf(5):

A program specification is a line beginning with `#!prog' or `!prog' (the
     former is for compatibility with the previous syslogd, if one is sharing
     syslog.conf files, for example) and the following blocks will be associ-
     ated with calls to syslog(3) from that specific program.  A program spec-
     ification for `foo' will also match any message logged by the kernel with
     the prefix `foo: '.  The `#!+prog' or `!+prog' specification works just
     like the previous one, and the `#!-prog' or `!-prog' specification will
     match any message but the ones from that program.  Multiple programs may
     be listed, separated by commas: `!prog1,prog2' matches messages from ei-
     ther program, while `!-prog1,prog2' matches all messages but those from
     `prog1' or `prog2'.

This seems to fail with a prog with a '.' in its name though it works fine
(here) with progs without a '.' in the name:
