at the moment this router is not in production yet, so it is just an
annoyance, but who knows if it might be a real problem when we start
moving traffic through the box..

yeah - I see pretty much the same info in help '>syslog' as on
juniper.net system log message reference. I'm wondering if the fact that
I dont see  info on this anywhere has something to do with the format of
these syslog messages.

Normaly default syslog looks like:

Month Day time hostname daemon/device[id]: SYSLOG_CATEGORY:  Syslog message

but in this case it is  /kernel reporting - not sure if it's documented
elsewhere (or not publicly at all). Ok so look like jtac time

thanks
Dave
