It would be nice to see what were fd5 and fd17 when the problem occured,
that information was missing from your mail. Can you send the list of
the opened file descriptors and where are they pointing?

I would start to debug this issue through the destinations which are
affected by the syslog facility, because for me it seems that
syslog-ng's own messages are repeating. Maybe your initial network setup
blocks UDP traffic, but this is only a wild guess...
