And just like "magic", the universe looks normal again..... THANKS SO MUCH for the SUPER QUICK response. That seems to be the exact fix that I needed. Barring any other anomalies, it looks like I may have finally managed to make my way out of the 3.0.5 world.

After considerable effort, I managed to get 3.3.4 built (using gcc 4.4.2, along with glib 2.29.92 and the requisite eventlog 0.2.12). The problem is that the resulting syslog-ng component grows continuously (at an alarming rate). Whereas my 3.0.5 syslog-ng process starts out running in just under 3MB, and then stabilizes at about 3.3MB, the 3.3.4 version starts out small, and then at the point where I killed it (about 2 hours after starting it), it had already grown to 277MB. I know at least about one memory leak that has been once fixed, but then reintroduced between 3.3.2 and 3.3.3, and I think is present since then. I've mentioned it on this list in February: https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2012-February/018334.html
It would be really nice if developers could take a look at the code again. :) Check this: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160 The mentioned patch is available at http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/syslog-ng-3.3.git;a=commit;h=3c14a264ab4c76b9... Bye,
