Syslog doesn't start at boot

Hi,
I have an odd problem with my 3 week old -current install - syslogd
isn't started. Or rather, it is started before lo0 is up and it fails to 
start, eg..

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: /dev/ad0s3a: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: /dev/ad0s3a: clean, 381721 free (3297 frags, 47303 blocks, 0.7% fragmentation)
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: /dev/ufs/inchoatevar: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: /dev/ufs/inchoatevar: clean, 417071 free (4815 frags, 51532 blocks, 1.0% fragmentation)

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: syslogd:
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: child pid 285 exited with return code 1
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel:

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: Additional ABI support:

Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: Starting Network: lo0 bfe0.
Apr 29 11:13:05 inchoate kernel: add net ::ffff:0.0.0.0: gateway ::1

I put '/etc/rc.d/syslogd restart' in rc.local but that's only a work around.

I ran mergemaster -s and it did find a few changes (worringly) but the
rc.d ones were just removing 'noprofile' from the keyword line which I don't
think would affect things.
