[syslog-ng] Version question

[Paul Krizak]

Tony,

I am seeing something similar -- 1.9.*, after compilation, simply 
segfaults after (during?) parsing of the config file.  No clue as to 
what it's actually doing when it fails.

I'd like to try out your specfiles though -- could you e-mail them to me?
