I'm getting the same SEGV when a localip is specified as was described at the bottom of this message:- http://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2002-September/003853.html Having looked at it further, looks like this function in afinet.c is the culprit void inet_address_setip(struct address_info **a, const char *ip) { CAST(inet_address_info, addr, *a); if (addr) { *a = &make_inet_address_c(ip, NULL)->super; } else { ol_string_free(addr->ip); addr->ip = c_format("%z", ip); } } The if (addr) tests if addr is NULL, and if it *is* it is then addr->ip is dereferenced causing a SEGV. Looks to me as though the if and else parts are swapped over. I'm going to experiment with that as a fix.
