This is strange. I'd first start syslog-ng under strace and watch it for
a while. Be aware that this will generate a lot of output, so redirect
(STDERR included) output to a file on a slice/partition with lots of
space. See what the heck it's doing when it stops logging. You should
also note other things like the size of the process in memory, system
load, available memory and disk space.

Report back to the list if you still need help after gathering info.
