A thanks to Chris Morris for solving this issue.  I can't believe I
missed it after staring that file for quite a while, but I was missing
the :SIZE part.  Adding that fixed it, and now the additional logs are
showing up.  I still have an issue with file permissions in OpenBSD,
but at least now it's not a Hobbit-related issue.
