That is a symptom of a broken klogd. Always run klogd with the -x
switch. If that does not work, take a look at

ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/ksymoops/v2.4/patch-sysklogd-1-3-31-ksymoops-1.gz

One day the sysklogd maintainers might just fix this bug, that bug fix
is almost 2 years old.
