Hello all,
I solved the the problem and I thought I would share the solution with everyone. The problem was that by logging using $program, occasionally a $program was blank. Syslog-ng would then try to write the entry to the log file. And since $program was blank, the log file was the current directory! I simply added to the filter 'goodprograms' and all was solved.
I use $PROGRAM.log as the logfile name so it would be '.log' which is a valid filename. Yet syslog-ng dies on hangup for me. This can be a solution to one problem, but not to the 'dies on hangup' problem in general. :( -m-
