Looks like you killed it.  VM size of syslog-ng process has only grown
from 1500k to 1564k since then and it's only used a few minutes of CPU.
Before the fix, that would have been around 40 megs and several hours of
CPU.  It is possible that it still has a tiny slow leak (of 64k) but I
would imagine that is normal drift of buffer sizes with different
messages, etc.  I'll let you know if it leaks even a little after a few
weeks, but my guess is that we've killed it.

Thanks again for all your help.
