Just as I'm leaving, I noticed this on my loghost at work (redhat 6.2, UDP
logging for around 50 hosts):
Sep 5 18:13:04 loghost syslog-ng[24136]: syslog-ng version 1.4.4 starting
Sep 5 18:13:04 loghost syslog: syslog-ng startup succeeded
Sep 5 18:13:04 loghost syslog: klogd startup succeeded
Sep 5 18:13:06 loghost syslog-ng[24136]: io.c: do_write: write() failed
(errno 27), File too large
Obviously I need to rotate the logs more often on that host, but were you
aware that there is a limit to the file sizes syslog-ng could write to?
# ls -al /var/log/messages

Ok, that's a huge logfile, but I just wanted to post that here in case
it's relevant.
