	Umm... so why would the first boot of 1.2G have saved the messages
and subsequent boots not saved the messages?

=Hmm, did you recently update your sources?  If you did, and built a new
=kernel, and didn't update syslogd and dmesg, this could be part of the
=problem.  The way the message buffer is mapped was changed, and the
=expected lossage from not being in sync is a bit like you're describing.
