[syslog-ng]Destination program: Syslog-ng stops writing to program

I've setup syslog-ng to output its messages to a destination program. However, when the server gets heavily loaded [1] either syslog-ng stops writing messages to the program's STDIN or the program stops reading these messages. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? If this appears to be a known problem that cannot be resolved, a solution for me would be to output all messages received with some sort of a destination file driver, but keeping the PRI portion of the syslog message intact. Does this functionality currently exist? Keith. 1: Or perhaps just for the fun of it too -- this has happened at times when I would not expect the log server to be getting too many messages. --
