I have found two problems which are the possible cause of the crashes reported on this list. expect a new release soon if the fixes below prove to be effective.
I am very happy to report that 1.5.23+libol-0.3.5 are running just fine in my environment. Before I discovered 1.5.23 was available I had already tested 1.5.21+the sources.c patch, and that worked for me as well.
Thanks very much for taking the time to stomp this bug out of existence!
cool, and thanks for testing the fix. if syslog-ng 1.5.23 proves to be stable, I'll release 1.6.0
Could you - not specifically you, rather the list - please test the configure.in changes as well on different platforms?
