[syslog-ng] Error parsing conf file?

[Zb Indelak]

Any progress / clues on the multiple file-open bug?  I'm using a multi-processor (2 CPUs) system, if that perhaps makes a difference.  With the 20050704 snapshot I've seen a single file open over 20 times each.

I don't really see how syslog-ng could open the same file twice, unless you had multiple file() destinations which refers to the same file. Is it the case? (judging your posted configuration, it is not, but maybe you did not copy-paste your complete config.
