I had this same problem a week or two ago and had to downgrade. Two separate systems with very similar configs both showed this behavior. A few messages were logged, then after fifteen minutes or less, no more output. The process was running but nobody was home. I regret that I didn't bug it, but I just don't have time on the side to deal with it right now. The system is Debian GNU/Linux, Unstable, on i386. Balazs Scheidler wrote:

Hi, just did an apt-get upgrade today and installed syslog-ng 1.9.9 after this I was fighting some hours with my system. syslog-ng logged a few minutes then it hanged, all logfiles showing the same timestamp. This also caused my mail system ( postfix ) to hang and also caused other problems.
Hm... could you also quote the _exact_ Debian version? Independent of this I would need some more information what caused the hang. An strace dump of the waiting syslog-ng process or something.
