[syslog-ng]Missing returns?

Hi,

I'm running syslog-ng-1.4.9a on a RedHat 7 box.

I'm receiving syslog UDP messages from several cisco
routers - and writing those messages to a file.

Allow works OK, except the messages are all batched on
lines - each line being 1077 bytes long - instead of
each message being on a separate line.

The syslog messages are definatley coming in separately
(verified with ngrep).

My syslog config is below - the 'core' items are the ones 
handling these data from the routers.  All logs from this
box itself are fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

aid
