I have stumbled upon a bug in syslog-ng-1.9.6 caused by an un-cleared buffer in logwriter.c which causes templated messages to be output improperly. Up until a certain point (not certain why it stops, perhaps due to a buffer size?), for each message output, all previous messages are output. For example, if the messages "One" "Two" and "Three" are sent to syslog-ng, the destination will receive "One" "One" "Two" "One" "Two" "Three". I have included a patch which solves the issue, but there may be a better solution. If you want a syslog-ng.conf which will produce this issue, let me know.

Thanks,

I've just committed a somewhat different fix for the issue. Thanks for reporting it. -- Bazsi
