in fact this comes from socket type. I've tried with tcp, and gotten the 
same issue.
 However with a udp or datagram unix socket that's working fine. Looks 
like syslog-ng doesn't like connection oriented type ....
Once more, it doesn't work in anyway with  syslog-ng 2.00 but works fine 
with 1.6.9 (on same RHEL system)
