syslog linefeed problem

[T E Schmitz <ma...@numerixtechnology.de>]

Hello,

I am logging to syslog and am encountering the following effects when 
the message contains linefeeds:

If the logging application runs on Windows, ^M appears in place of the 
linefeed (0x5e 0x4d). If it runs on Linux the linefeeds are stripped and 
replaced by blanks.

This is the case with '\n' as well as Jakarta commons lang  SEPARATOR 
LINE_SEPARATOR (=getSystemProperty("line.separator").


I am getting the feeling that syslog strips newlines from messages. But 
what about the control characters received from the Windows app?
This is particularly a nuisance as I am using Jakarta Commons Lang 
ToStringBuilder with MULTI_LINE_STYLE (which uses the above LINE_SEPARATOR).
