Hi, I must apologize for the false alarm.

After trying to get a strace, and looking at bootlogd source, I
realized Linux is a multitasking OS and something else might be
changing the value at the same time. Turns out the real culprit was

/etc/rcS.d/S75powertweakd

and the daemon just happened to do its deed right at the time

/etc/rcS.d/S99stop-bootlogd-single 

was in progress.

Regards,
Zoran
