I'm running 1.6.6 on Linux Redhat ES 3.0 logging Cisco router logs to 
local files and it's been running just fine for over a week. 
I just enabled  forwarding for local4 and local7 (with spoof UDP)  to 2 
additional hosts via UDP and noticed, within a day, that it syslog-NG has 
consumed all available memory.   It continues to log, however, the system 
starts killing processes off unless I restart syslog-ng.

I checked the list, it seems like the closest similar problem I could find 
was back in 2000.   Any advice for fixing/identifying the problem?
