[syslog-ng] massive memory leak

I was wondering if anyone else has had the experience of checking out processes on their DMZ log forwarder after a couple of weeks of running syslog-ng (~5 machines logging to it, one file destination, one TCP remote), only to find its VSZ to be approaching 80MB :) Obviously some kind of significant memory leak. According to the list archives, another poster put up a patch but he has not responded to my inquiries; I'm wondering if anyone else has patches or has used the patch posted not too long ago...or at least, perhaps someone could confirm that they also must restart the syslog-ng process daily to combat memory leakage.
