[PATCH] Fix buffer overflows with "long" messages in syslog()

[Nick Withers]

Hi all,

The attached patch replaces some unsafe buffer operations in syslog()
which would cause stack buffer overflow when the syslog message length
(including Facility and Level encoding) would exceed 199 characters.

(There's still the implicit assumption that *printf() won't error and
return -1)
