[syslog-ng]syslog-ng hanging

[syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu]

I have noticed that syslog-ng has been hanging on my 2.6.0 kernel gentoo
host.  I saw in a previous post that strace was requested, so here is some
info:

cindy etc # ps -ef |grep syslog-ng
root      3381     1  0 15:36 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/syslog-ng
root     11416  9238  0 20:34 pts/1    00:00:00 grep syslog-ng
cindy etc #
cindy etc # strace -f -v -i -t -p 3381
Process 3381 attached - interrupt to quit
20:34:39 [4011e878] read(3,  <unfinished ...>
Process 3381 detached
cindy etc #

(The above unfinished part happens after I CTRL-C)

Using following version of syslog-ng:
[ebuild   R   ] app-admin/syslog-ng-1.6.0_rc3-r1

I will leave the system in this state until tomorrow morning (Mon, Dec 29,
7AM PST) in case any further diagnostic info is requested by then.  I
appreciate any help that you can give,
Regards,
David
