Nope. syslog writes that every 20 minutes, so that you can get an 
approximate idea of when it died if it ever did.

To disable it, edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog and make sure there's an 
"-m 0" on the syslog startup line (my RaQ 4 has this already by 
default):

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting system logger: "
        # we don't want the MARK ticks
        daemon syslogd -m 0
