Fine, I will get the new version, and test it.

Yesterday, I send your syslog-ng a "kill -HUP" to initiate the reload
of the configuration file (with the "not" operator). The syslog-ng
doesn't shutdown the process, and doesn't told me, that there is an
configuration error. He was still using the older - and correct -
configuration file.
