Let me understand this, you were seeing a leak when using a PERL script to send UDP packets using
Net::RawIP    _to_ syslong_ng.

I am still experiencing clear leak behavior when using syslog-ng to send spoffed UDP packets to other syslog-ng's.
The syslog-ng sender is leaking, the receiver is exhibitning normal behavior.
