[syslog-ng]Urgent: Mangled messages in pipe() destinations in version 1.5.19

[_/CaT\_]

I've found the same problem in version 1.5.20:

DBD::mysql::db do failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near
'INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, level, tag, date, time, program, msg)
VALUES (' at line 1 at /usr/local/script/insertdb.pl line 35, <FF> line
19.

Hi all,

We are seeing exactly the same behaviour Andreas described. Actually it
works fine until version 1.5.8, but if we use any version >1.5.8,
including patched 1.5.19 and 1.5.20, we get lots of mangled messages. So
it's not really the same problem that was fixed in 1.5.20. Any ideas?
We'd also love to use the latest version and not have to stick to 1.5.8.

Thanks in advance,


Carlos Inacio.
