[syslog-ng]1.4.11 fixes SIGHUP problems?

[jon@dumbo.pobox.com]

IMO, it should dump to STDOUT/ERR as well...much like apachectl restart.

apache says something like "config is broken, ignoring restart"

i've made changes to the config file before(with errors) never thinking there's a problem.
logging continued normally, not error messages i could see.

not many people will want to have to check a log file after a restart, they may think
"telling it to HUP, didn't report any errors, and my other logs are still there..."
