[horde] Horde logs stuffed with foreign program logging info

Hello,

   I know it will quite seems strange, but I discovered that logging
information from misc non horde related applications (such as Zoneminder
(home surveillance framework)) are stored in Horde'a logs as well as in the
Activesync logs.

   For example below, the Horde log is "contaminated" with zoneminder info. 
Lines such as:

   Jun 22 17:44:19 lhost2 zma_m4[2092]: INF [Monitor0: 34000 - Processing at
7.87 fps][/code]

   What can cause applications to send info to the horde logs?  These
applications are NOT configured to send data to horde's logs and I double
checked this.  They have their own logs.  TO me it looks like Horde is
using some way to retrieve the system dmesg or similar and then stores to
its logs.

   Can someone help?

   Because of that, my active sync log is usually around 20MB which is
almost impossible to use for troubleshooting.
