Interesting stuff, thanks for pointing it out.  Looks useful for taming 
ill-behaved daemons, particularly those whose source you cannot modify. 
  But for jabberd I think the long-term solution is to fix the problem 
at its source.  No point in logging all sorts of stuff only to toss it 
out after a bunch of expensive regexps are performed - jabberd is 
already CPU bound on large deployments, according to another recent post 
here.
