Description:
------------
Bug #28722 still seems to be a bug -- and there is apparently no way to re-open or comment on a bug that was marked "Bogus" prematurely. 

We see this problem using PHP 5.0.5.  I assume that it's still an issue for 5.1.1, but I don't have the luxury of running that branch yet.

 * We _are_ using syslog logging from our PHP application
 * We have php errors going to syslog (in php.ini error_log is set to 'syslog')
 * We _always_ call openlog() before any syslog() calls in the PHP application.

We see garbage in the syslog when PHP errors (e.g. PHP Fatal Error...) are sent to syslog *without* our application having sent any logs (and hence without having called openlog()).

The workaround is to always call openlog() in our PHP application regardless of whether the application actually needs to call syslog() itself.
