Beats me. The "<23>" and "<22>" things look like they appear
somewhere in the vicinity where newline characters might be expected.

The "After" and "Before" examples were separated by less than 4
minutes during which yaird, ucf, udev, libsnmp9, read-edid, snmp,
cpio, and perl were upgraded. libmail-spf-query-perl was upgraded to
1.999.1-1 on (and used continuously since) 2006-02-27 18:36 EST.
Julian> What makes you think this is a bug in

My prime suspects seemed to be libmail-spf-query-perl or perl. Since
there are likely a few more perl users but no Debian Bug reports on
perl since the upgrade became available on 2006-02-12 it seemed as if
perhaps libmail-spf-query-perl and perl may not be playing nicely
together since the perl upgrade.
FWIW though they are not dependencies of libmail-spf-query-perl the
main other players are syslog-ng-1.9.9-1 (since 2006-03-01) and
postfix-2.2.9-1 (2006-02-24).
Thank you for looking into this.
