If a log record has LOG_PREFIX set, its predecessor record should be
terminated if it was marked LOG_CONT.  In devkmsg_read(), this
condition was being ignored, which would lead to such records
showing up combined when reading /dev/kmsg.  Fix this oversight.

More correct description would be:

	/* Insert a newline if the previous line was not terminated properly */

> +	insert_newline = (user->prev & LOG_CONT) && (msg->flags & LOG_PREFIX);

Please, do similar change also in msg_print_text() that would fix also
syslog(). Note that syslog is the place where we stopped to disable
prefix when there was continuous line before.

Best Regards.

I will change it as you suggest.

I will do this, as you will see in v3 which I plan to post in a
few hours.  (Note that this touches a spot where I have yet another
minor bug fix that I have not yet posted...  Oh well.)
