[syslog-ng] syslog-ng and windows

[SOLIS, ALEX]

Just curious....

What would happen if TCP transmission was not terminated with an nl or
nul char?  Would TCP receive buffers fill up and kill communication on
the server?

It is basically the same as UDP, the only exception is that messages has
to be translated by an NL or NUL characters as otherwise there's no way
to recognize message boundary.
