I would guess, without looking at any code, that the syslog stuff always
adds a newline to the end of the message text when logging. If the message
text already ends in a newline, you get a blank line. Probably all or
almost all of the sa log lines already end with a newline.
The trivial change is to not add the extra newline if the text already ends
in a newline. If that is awkward, filter off any terminal newline in the
text before logging, and the logging code will put one back on.
