Default /var/log/syslog is smaller than last time checked!

I just received this message from logcheck, on two machines (Debian), at
the same minute. They do not share /var/log/ via NFS or anything.

What might this be? Same minute!

Hum... could it be because logrotate made its job and cutted the syslog
file while logcheck was analyzing it?

It could be just a pure casualty :-?
