I didn't see anything helpful in the logs but I have now a working
hypothesis.
When I switch from the desktop to e.g. tty1 I am not root, I am
a simple user. From the syslogd manpage, I gather that syslog fails
accessing its files because of my lowly status and upon failure
it restarts.
Possible remedy:
SYSLOGD="-u"
in /etc/default/syslog.
This is ubuntu 9.04.
