>Description:
	newsyslog(1) adds entries to both the old and new logfiles when
	rotating them (provided they are not binary files).

	However, the entries differ slightly from those added by syslogd(8)
	in that they give the weekday and the domain of the local host.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Look at eg. /var/log/messages and /var/log/messages.0.gz
>Fix:
	Apply the following patch to /usr/src/usr.bin/newsyslog/newsyslog.c:
