I'm not Jerry, but I seem to remember it having more to do with
syslogger program. I'm using syslog-ng now but when I ran into it I was
probably using sysklogd. Here is a man page for you.

I'm betting it was either default for the program or a default Gentoo
config that I noticed one day in my logs. Seems like it could be a handy
feature for reading logs.
