[syslog-ng] program() destination in 1.9.6: respawning not automatic?

[Paul Krizak]

I built the latest stable copy of 1.9 (1.9.6) a few days ago and I'm 
seeing some behavior that doesn't seem to jive with the documentation.

The docs say that the program() destination in 2.0 (which is presumably 
what 1.9.X is preparing for) should respawn the program if it dies.

However, this doesn't seem to be the case; you must signal syslog-ng 
with a HUP before it'll respawn the program.  Is this expected behavior? 
  And if it is, is there some way to make syslog-ng respawn the program 
immediately instead of waiting for a HUP signal?

Thanks!
