Hi Fabien Wernli,

yes, as per my mail from 2018-07-04T16:21

running
syslog-ng -Fdv
always ends in
[2018-07-04T16:15:27.124682] <<<<<< filter rule evaluation result; result='MATCH - Forwarding message to the next LogPipe', rule='f_noDebug', location='/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:85:19', msg='0x7ff5a40168c0'
[2018-07-04T16:15:27.124696] <<<<<< filter rule evaluation result; result='MATCH - Forwarding message to the next LogPipe', rule='f_checkpoints', location='/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:98:23', msg='0x7ff5a40168c0'
[2018-07-04T16:15:27.124709] <<<<<< Source side message processing finish; instance='0.0.0.0', location='/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:33:2', msg='0x7ff5a40168c0'
Floating point exception (core dumped)

I have recently sent a mail containint the dump file i could not open with gdb which has to be review by a mod because the dump is 240k in size exceeding the 200k unmoderated limit.

Sincerely
Niklas Deffner

PS: Thank you for all the gratious help and time you spent on helping me so far, @everyone.
