Hi, now I have it. RTFM :D I forgot to touch a new sources.c.x Many thx @all specially to Bazsi for coding. Does this fix stay in the new releases or do I have to apply the fix evertime I update my syslog-ng? regards, Benjamin michihito matsubara wrote:

Can you check if this patch works? (it fixed the problem for me)

Benjamin,

looks like you missed something for the patch. double check and try again. you can make it, too. This patch is nothing but a clean and simple.
