If you're on redhat, make sure you're using the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/syslogd script to restart syslogd,
it includes the klogd restart. Also, if your machine
is an older distribution of RedHat 6.1 or lower,
there is a bug in syslogd that will exhibit the
exact behavior you're seeing, there's a new
syslogd package to fix that.
