Hello,

At first glance this looks like the issue found in 3.23.1: https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/issues/2906
Could you verify by checking either master or 3.24.1 ?

If not please provide more information as such:
* debian version
* syslog-ng version
* how/where do you obtain your debian packages
* configuration file
