Yes, you're right. I can do this by setting text mode on the syslogFile. 
I'll have a patch for review shortly.

Note: this is behaviour we definitely won't want for CSVlogs, because it 
will translate embedded LF as well as LF at the end of a log line. This 
whole little mess chewed up all the time I wanted to spend yesterday 
making progress on CSVlogs :-(
