Re: [syslog-ng] Syslog-NG 3.0.5 incorrectly parsing messages without program names

In the past I used the MSG macro to get the full syslog message. Now MSG is broken into MSG and MSGHDR.

If a message comes in without a program name such as "exiting on signal 15" or "last message repeated 20 times", syslog-ng incorrectly takes the first word as the program name. Trying to rebuild it with $MSGHDR$MSG causes an erroneous : to be placed on these messages since $MSGHDR is filled in with "exiting" and "last".

I found a previous post and tried adding store-legacy-msghdr. The problem now is that MSGHDR still includes the first word such as "exiting" and "last" but no colon but on messages like "kernel : Kernel logging (proc) stopped.", "kernel: " is put in MSGHDR but then also placed in MSG and MSGONLY.
