I downloaded a snapshot from: <a href="http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/syslog-ng-2.0.git;a=snapshot;h=a33ee30c1e059c1c6dc9839047379f3f3a8dfa4d" target="_blank">http://git.balabit.hu/?p=bazsi/syslog-ng-2.0.git;a=snapshot;h=a33ee30c1e059c1c6dc9839047379f3f3a8dfa4d
</a>. It compiled ok, but gets a segmentation fault when initializing (it can display version and help info), but if I run with my cfg file it dies. <br><br>Here&#39;s the last part of strace when i run it:<br><br>open(&quot;/opt/syslog-
