This is a 'timestamp" which /sbin/syslogd writes to the log at set
intervals, 20 min. by default.
You can suppress it by starting syslogd with '-m 0'.

           man syslogd

from my /etc/init.d/syslog:

-----> snip

umask 077

start() {
        echo -n "Starting system logger: "
        # we don't want the MARK ticks
        daemon syslogd -m 0
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^               
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        echo -n "Starting kernel logger: "
        daemon klogd
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/syslog  

------>snip 


                                  Best,

                                  Tom
