Can you post the output of:
head -2 your_file | od -An -t a

Please use code tags!

You can do something like this with awk:
your_application |
awk '
/pattern1/{print > "file_with_pattern1"}
/pattern2/{print > "file_with_pattern2"}
' > file_with_other_lines

Sorry, I misunderstood the question, try this:
awk '(!/sshd/ && !/ftpd/) && (/fail/ || /error/){print; f=1;}
/above message repeats/ && f{print;f=0}' syslog.log

Something like this?
awk '(!/sshd/ && !/ftpd/) && /fail/ || /error/{print; f=1; getline}
/above message repeats/ && f
{f=0}' syslog.log
