it is normal that syslog-ng reports garbage collecting messages.

the problem should be fixed anyway. please do the following:

ulimit -c unlimited (to let the program dump core)
syslog-ng (dumps core)
gdb syslog-ng -c core (reference to core file)
gdb> bt (to get a backtrace where it aborted itself)

thanks,
