Comment 1 Ray Van Dolson 2009-08-19 07:08:47 UTC
Commited this patch[1] to devel/ which I believe will solve the issue.  However, I was unable to build the package for EL-5 due to some linking errors against libnet.  Will have to resolve this first.

Closing this ticket as the problem appears to have been fixed in syslog-ng-2.1.4-3.  Please feel free to re-open this ticket if the problem still persist.
