Apologies for not being able to reply you in time.

Since my last post, I had put my logcheck (the stable version) packages on 
hold. I upgraded them today to version 1.2.41 and they look to be working 
fine. Maybe you can mark the bug as done.

Will bug you again if I find something abnormal. :-)
Thanks for all your help.
