Nice! Crash Reporter is a must have if you are into troubleshooting issues.
Syslogd is very useful with Crash Reporter. But I Hulu suggest that you download the syslogd flipswitch toggle because that will continuously log data and that file can get big. So I just use the toggle to turn it on to log crashes. Once I fix the problem, I keep it turned off until a future problem arises.
The syslogd package from cydia is no longer needed for crash reporter
I can't seem to find the whole changelog on the cydia app but go give it a try with and without the syslogd package installed
Use activator to enter safe mode, crash reporter will take that as a crash and you'll see there is syslog info regardless of whether the package is installed or not
Although I'm not entirely sure if you're talking about the syslogd package or the flip switch toggle
