Not sure about anything before 3.3, but there have been numerous leak
fixes post 3.3.1.

Could you perhaps try a recent git snapshot?

Or, if you prefer make dist tarballs (so you only need to ./configure &&
make && make install, pretty much), then the following address has a git

http://packages.madhouse-project.org/syslog-ng/3.3/syslog-ng-3.3-HEAD.tar.gz
