CHANGES:

        Deadlock detection:
        * The supervisor process of syslog-ng can automatically check if
          syslog-ng entered a deadlock and does not respond. If the syslog-ng
          process does not respond, the supervisor process restarts syslog-ng.
          By default, the supervisor process checks for timeouts every 300
          seconds.
          To modify this value, use the '--deadlock-check-timeout' or '-D'
          command-line option of syslog-ng
