I noticed snmpd was also reporting messages it shouldn't have. So logcheck
WAS removing trailing spaces from syslog lines. One line was changed from
1.28 to 1.29 and that seems to be the problem.

So, ignore my previous post. Don't change the logcheck rule. Patch
logcheck. Here is a solution that works.

< $SORT $TMPDIR/logoutput/* | sed -e 's/[[:space:]]+$//' | cat  \
