[syslog-ng]logs getting stomped on

[Hamilton, Andrew]

I would have to agree with Bazsi.  I've been running syslog-ng on Solaris 8
for a long while now and this never happened to me.  It would pretty much
have to be something on your system that is causing it.

Regards,

Drew

I think it should be something outside syslog-ng as I have never heard
syslog-ng doing something like this (and I was listening carefully ;)
