syslog handler includes UTF-8 BOM by default

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

In our log files on our syslog server, every entry has a <U+FEFF> string after the app name:

Jan 14 17:05:42 XXXX INTG_DomainController[2059] <U+FEFF>JBoss Modules version 1.3.0.Final-redhat-2

Sometimes it also writes part of a word before:

Jan 14 17:05:41 XXXX INTG_DomainController[2058] Contro - <U+FEFF>JBAS012017: Starting process 'Host Controller'
