We have been experiencing corruption of logbook entries by elogd mirror synchronization. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a known cause and/or workaround for it? [...]

I made copies of both servers' files and ran two elogd servers on my Mac on different ports, compiled from a fresh checkout of 2.8.0, and the same behavior was observed as I repeatedly made test entries and synchronized.  This suggests it isn't specific to Linux architecture, 64-bit or otherwise. 

We plan to use ELOG with mirror servers in a larger scale here, so I'm interested to know more about your problem.

Could you boil down your configuration to a minimum that still allows a reproduction of the problem and post those configurations as attachments?

Then I would try to reproduce it here. Best case I'll find a bug fix, worst case I'll reconsider the use of mirror servers ;-)
