[syslog-ng] AIX Syslog-ng 2.0rc3 does not reconnect after timout

[Evan Rempel]

This problem is resolved. I think it was an issue with glib 2.12.3
The change log for glib 2.12.4 contains

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.12.3 to GLib 2.12.4
===================================================

* Fix build problems related to Posix timers.

* Bugs fixed
  321974 nanosleep on AIX / g_timer API using high
         resolution timers

which I think is the real answer.

I built this and used syslog-ng 2.0.0 and this problem is gone.
