The tricky bug fixed - last position of log file will be never retrieved (#795):

addJail (executed before addLog) early uses a "INSERT OR REPLACE" statement to update "enabled" to 1 (and add jail the first time used at once), but this syntax in sqlite always deletes an entry (cause of constraint) and inserts it again, so because of CASCADE all log entries with this jail will be also deleted from logs table.
