I'm receiving thousands of syslogs per second, so the truss is not that
useful - it's too difficule to isolate the interval.  When failed HUP
issue occurrs, no log entry is written to syslog, and the daemon
continues running normally.  When a successful HUP occurs, the
appropriate message appears in syslog.

I did not have this issue when I was testing, only when I put the server
under extreme load, so that be a prerequisite for the issue to occur.

Peter

can you be more specific? it simply does nothing, it crashes or?

syslog-ng should send this message to the system log when it receives a
system log:

         notice("SIGHUP received, restarting syslog-ng\n")

do you receive this message when it does not correctly restart? can you
attach truss to the running syslog-ng process when you send a HUP signal
to it?
