Further examination shows numerous log lines that were detected on Dec 12 by swatch using tail on the secure file but do not presently appear in the secure file. However, they do appear in the messages file.

Here are some tentative observations:
If I do a vi on the secure file and write it from vi, it stops recording. If I do a "/var/init.d/syslog restart", the secure file starts recording.
I still have no idea how swatch continues to function after the syslog stops recording.
