Comment 12 for bug 1217407

On an up to date 14.04 LTS system, I have what I guess is a mild remnant of the original bug?

No more log messages as of now, Tue Nov 25 11:46:47 EST, which is nice. The 73 redundant "offline" messages would seem to satisfy the definition of "spamming syslog." I personally couldn't stomach reopening this bug myself though, at least not without the ability to also change importance to low.
