trussing the last(1) command shows, that it does only read 98304 bytes
of the file (3x 32768), while the file size is 111586:

open("/var/log/utx.log",0x100000,0666)           = 3 (0x3)
fstat(3,{ mode=-rw-r--r-- ,inode=160570,size=111586,blksize=32768 }) = 0
(0x0)
read(3,"\0\^U\a\0\^D\M-^\^Xr\^Wo\M^H\M-m"...,32768) = 32768 (0x8000)
read(3,"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,32768) = 32768 (0x8000)
read(3,"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"...,32768) = 32768 (0x8000)
close(3)                                         = 0 (0x0)

must be a bug :-(
