ok now we have something we can poke on even if looks wired
that removing more messages causes this line-wrap problem.

could you show as the output of
sed -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//' /var/log/syslog | egrep --text slapd | \
egrep --text -v '^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ slapd\[[0-9]+\]:'

as i have hands on an ldap server i'll may also try,
maybe a better idea comes up till then.
