[syslog-ng] messed up permissions on /dev/null destination on solaris

When using /dev/null as a destination on Solaris 8 (sparc) with
syslog-ng 1.6.7 the perms of /dev/null get messed up:

$ ls -l /dev/null
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         27 Apr 19  2003 /dev/null -> ../devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null
$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null
crw-r--r--   1 root     root      13,  2 Oct 16 18:27 /devices/pseudo/mm at 0:null


I thought this was addressed at some point, was that only on Linux
perhaps?

Thanks,
