Without being able to reproduce the bug I _need_ more information. I've
checked out the difference between 1.5.20 and 1.5.8 at the time I received
the original bug report, but saw no reasons that could cause this problem.

What I'd need:
1) the least complex config file that shows the problem
2) strace dump of syslog-ng while receiving this message (only the relevant
parts are needed, e.g. the place where syslog-ng receives this message)

I suspect syslog-ng gets data fragmented in some way, but as I checked the
trivial cases I don't know the real cause.

Thanks in advance,
