Bazsi,

I wasn't, but grabbed and installed the bison package and rebuilt and 
installed the syslog-ng package this morning. I get the same error. Before 
we spend a lot of time on this though, how will messages look different 
using keep_hostnames vs chain_hostnames? Will using keep_hostnames get rid 
of the logging problem I first reported due to src, Message, and last being 
prepended to the messages?

 > src@aaaa
 > Message/aaaa.bbbb.cornell.edu
 > last/aaaa.bbbb.cornell.edu

>Are you using GNU bison to generate the configuration parser?
