>Description:
	When newsyslog rotates a file, it adds a line to the top that mimics
	the output of syslogd.  However, the date in this line has an extra
	trailing space.  Compare the newsyslog line to the syslog line:

Jan  4 01:00:00  snarf newsyslog[6085]: logfile turned over
Jan  4 03:23:55 snarf pppd[6055]: Excessive lack of response to LCP echo frames.
