* fgetln() doesn't \0 terminate its string. look for the \n and replace
it with \0 (if no \n, ignore the line - it's most likely corrupt)
* more intensive checks on strdup() returns (not a current mem leak,
but depended upon code elsewhere to cleanup - not good)
* cleanup some syslog error messages
