I am currently using Syslog-NG version 2.0rc1.

I've noticed that sometimes when Syslog-NG is logging messages, it prefixes something onto the program name which disrupts filters while matching against a program name. For example, in some logs for a program named "foo" I'll see logs in the form of "<15>foo" which fail to be matched against a filter of 'program("foo") '. This seems to only be noticed on logs which originate from remote hosts.

Could anyone provide an explanation for what is going on with this?

I reported this problem a couple of weeks ago, and Balazs kindly provided a patch which fixed it. I imagine the patch is in .rc2, try upgrading. -- 73, Ged.
