[syslog-ng]fix for the -HUP problem

[Jerome Peducasse]

Hi,

	This patch works fine for me. syslog-ng doesn't segfault anymore. Thanks a lot.

However, when I send SIGHUP, syslog-ng recreate /dev/log socket. So klogd loses its connection:

write(1, "<7>Apr 26 14:24:53 kernel: VFS: "..., 72) = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)
read(0, "<4>end_request: I/O error, dev 0"..., 4095) = 159
time([1019823893])                      = 1019823893
write(1, "<4>Apr 26 14:24:53 kernel: end_r"..., 81) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected)
time([1019823893])                      = 1019823893

Do you have a solution ?
