What does "lsof /dev/log" say?

Of it returns "minilogd", you might have a selinux issue at hand,
/dev/log has an incorrect security context then.

If so: "touch /.autorelabel" and reboot the machine. Then wait. And
wait. And wait a little bit more. 

At least that's what happened to me on my box. 

Another place where I'd look: Do you have /tmp mounted "noexec"? Then
it could be logrotate running amok. Does it maybe still log to one of
the rotated files? 

Regards,

Ralph
