I don't see this in syslogd(8); I presume it require source hacking?

158169 dropped due to full socket buffers
2467251 datagrams received
sleeping...
158903 dropped due to full socket buffers
2468299 datagrams received

Not much. ps -ax | grep syslog gives:
4317 ?? Ss 0:01.60 /usr/sbin/syslogd -l /var/run/log -l
/var/named/var/run/log
Process has been running for about five minutes at that point.
Another point that might be of interest:
ns1/etc;rc.d/syslogd restart
Stopping syslogd.
Waiting for PIDS: 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317,
4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317, 4317
Starting syslogd.
