[syslog-ng]time_reopen, continuous reconnects, and syslog-ng1.4.10 - 1.4.12.

I don't think that it is a problem with the server.  I think that it is a
problem with the client.  If I HUP the client and it reconnects, I start
seeing data go across to the server again.  Other clients connected to the
same server while we are having problems with the downed client are still
able to send data through.  This is what leads me to think that it is the
client and not the server.

You may be sure that when a man begins to call himself a "realist," he
is preparing to do something he is secretly ashamed of doing.
