[syslog-ng] syslog-ng takes 100% CPU(RHEL 5)

Dear Bazsi-san, Thank you for the reply.

The link for the libdbi package that you need is: Thank you very much.

But the real question is whether your experienced 100% CPU usage is the same as the fix in 2.1.3. Can you post an strace of the running process as it is eating your CPU? I post result of an strace.(following) Actually a lot of results were output. I post a part. But I don't understand whether the result of strace is helpful. Please teach if there is an option of strace that I should use.
