[syslog-ng][PATCH] please test: syslog-ng message mangling fix

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi,

This patch should fix the message mangling problems you might have
encountered. As the log parsing routines are quite critical I don't want to
release this patch without testing on most platforms. It seems to work on
Linux for me, but tests from more exotic platforms are welcome.

(the problem this patch fixes occurs only if you have messages longer than
the default limit. the limit can be changed by log_msg_size)

to test: apply the patch, and touch sources.c.x, and recompile
