[syslog-ng]Odd problem

I am getting something very strange in my syslogs.  This doesn't happen for
every host but it appears that most of the hostnames are getting the front
truncated.  Here is a sample of the logfile and my config file.  I am
running syslog-ng 1.4.7.

Nov 15 13:57:03 gw1.hanau.army.mil 172593: Nov 15 13:57:18:

The hostname should have hnu-gw1.hanau.army.mil in the first one and
likewise for the rest.  There is some 3 letter representation of the region
on the front of the hostname.  Here is my config, partly anyway.

options { long_hostnames(yes); use_fqdn(yes); chain_hostnames(no); sync(0);
keep_hostname(yes); create_dirs(yes); };
source src { sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal();
udp(); };

destination d_cisco { file("/logs/cisco/ciscologs"); };

destination d_reno   { udp("host.mydomain.mil"); };

filter f_cisco { facility(local7) };

log { source(src); filter(f_cisco); destination(d_cisco);
destination(d_host); };

Seems to actually function fine but is truncating the front part.

Any ideas?
