[syslog-ng] Delay writing to files

[Paolo Supino]

Nothing but what I already sent the mailing list. I think that the
problem might be 1 if 2: 
1. the directive: log_fifo_size (999999);
2. a problem in the way that syslog-ng writes to files. 


I will try to decrease the log_fifo_size directive and see what
happens. 



TIA
