I don't see that this has to do with syslog.  There's a writev to fd 3,
but you stripped the strace so we don't know what fd 3 is connected to.
Also, syslog writes the output to the Windows event log by default,
unless you have a syslog daemon running, connected to /dev/log.

So I guess we first have to know what fd 3 is connected to, and then
how to reproduce the issue.
