[syslog-ng]1.6.0rc1 / SunOS 5.8 (Solaris 8) - entries not logged with IP address

[Brian C. Hill]

	Hi Bazsi,

	Thanks for the quick reply.

	I did and that fixed the problem. Since that was the only
problem I ran into in 64-bit mode, I would like to be able to compile
it that way again for consistency with other applications.

	Do you have a quick thought as to which data structures might
be affected by te 64-bit compile that are related to the recvfrom part
of the code?

Brian
