Great.

A google search revealed that it seems to be a Microsoft tool. However I've
never used it. Are you sure it cannot handle multi-line eventlog entries?
Another quick search on google pointed me to this site:
<http://www.lizardl.com/PageHtml.aspx?lng=2&PageId=18&PageListItemId=17>
Where one of the features of this parser seems to be to support multi-line logs:

"[...]This input format is also used for parsing multiline text log files (one
record is spread through one or more text lines) from various sources"

On a blog about Log Parser 2.1 I found the statement that the next version (2.2
is available already) should support multiple line parsing. See
<http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/01/10/49441.aspx>.

So there is hope that Microsoft either already fixed this issue or will fix it
in the future. If not, then pre-parsers might help preparing the data for the tool.
