[syslog-ng]syslogd core on garbage-collect filter

[jamie rishaw]

Greetings all,

  Hope this isn't FAQ..

  I'm trying to filter all of the "garbage collect" messages into
/dev/null (but for initial testing, a file).

  syslog-ng is coring, tho, after startup with code (below).

  operation without the bad code, however, is fine.

  I am running syslog-ng 1.4.11 on FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE.

bad code:
-- start --
# I dont want garbage collecting messages
log { source("s_int"); filter("f_isgarbage"); destination("d_garbage"); };
filter f_isgarbage { match("garbage collect"); };
destination d_garbage { file("/logs/garbage"); };
-- end --

related code (does not affect):
--start--
source s_int { internal(); };
--end--

startup:
noc# /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -v
binding fd 3, inetaddr: 0.0.0.0, port: 514
binding fd 4, unixaddr: /var/run/log

within 60 seconds:

Thanks in advance for any advice/help,
