Have not tried many alternatives as I am using Pgfouine and it is fairly
rigid re. the log format it expects. As I had originally posted my
logging setup is:

Also redirect_stderr = on. Let me know if there are any other config
settings that might be important.

I am currently on: "PostgreSQL 8.1.8 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu,
compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)", but this
has happened with other 8.1.* versions and Ed L. indicates with other
major versions.

This happens even with very short messages (definitely less than 4096
bytes) -- I had pasted some examples originally; it does not seem to be
related to message/query length.
