            Bug ID: 229236
           Summary: syslogd failed to parse TIMESTAMP
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: regression
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---

Commit r335059 brought syslogd(8) in sync with the copy in HEAD. Unfortunately,
it broke capability to log messages which have incorrect timestamps. Such
syslog messages are still common when you log from older network equipment or
non-RFC compliant third-party apps. 

Running syslogd in debug mode:

Failed to parse TIMESTAMP from x.x.x.x: 12403: Jun 22 17:31:38 CEST:
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/17,
changed state to down

The same message in debug is seen when syslogd is run with -T switch.
