I am including a read rate tunable perl program destination that I use to slow the destination down. I am including a syslog-ng.conf file I am including the output of valgrind. I run syslog-ng, cat a /var/messages file (100,000 lines) to the input pipe. valgrind now shows definitely lost: 2,620,649 bytes in 4,439 blocks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
