Bug description:  syslog function truncates messages

The PHP syslog function is truncating messages longer than 500 characters
which is currently stopping our ability to respond to error states in our
multi-logging environment(i.e. things other than PHP).

Please change this to something more appropiate like 16384 bytes.


Here is the PHP syslog function.

/* {{{ proto bool syslog(int priority, string message)
   Generate a system log message */
PHP_FUNCTION(syslog)
{
    long priority;
    char *message;
    int message_len;

    if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "ls", &priority,
                              &message, &message_len) == FAILURE) {
        return;
    }

    /*
     * CAVEAT: if the message contains patterns such as "%s",
     * this will cause problems.
     */

    php_syslog(priority, "%.500s", message);
    RETURN_TRUE;
}
/* }}} */
