[New-bugs-announce] [issue14452] SysLogHandler sends invalid messages when using unicode

[marko kreen]

New submission from marko kreen <markokr at gmail.com>:

SysLogHandler converts message to utf8 and adds BOM, supposedly
to conform with RFC5424, but the implementation is broken:
the RFC specifies that the BOM should prefix only unstructured
message part, but current Python implementation puts it in the
middle of structured part, thus confusing RFC-compliant receivers.

Simplest fix would be to just remove the BOM adding.
