This is a really weird problem.  I UTSL'd through the openssh-5.0p1
code and I don't see any interesting differences between the
login/logout code that uses syslog.

I thought about this quite a bit during my commute this morning and my
best guess is that this might have something to do with how the TZ
enviroment variable is configured in your environment?

If you are using syslog-ng, does using use_time_recvd help?
