Hardcoding the permissions in the open() call in affile.c fixes the problem (yes, I know it's not the way to do it, but I was in a hurry).  In other

this one is fixed, committed, the next snapshot should contain the fix.

I don't really know what you mean here? syslog-ng does not lock files on
its own and according to my tests dynamic output files were properly
reaped (closed in time as time_reap() specifies)

non-dynamic files (which has no macros in the name) are not reaped, but
IIRC syslog-ng 1.6.x did not reap those either.
