Possibly.  What kind of post-processing did you have in mind?  A
simple grep for lines containing "zrpc" will indeed no longer work.
Cleverer tools should already expect multi-line log messages,
separated by "------" lines.

I'm quite happy to roll this back if there are problems with it, but
I'd like to hear of concrete incompatibilities rather than FUD. :-)
