Running Syslog-ng 2.0rc3 compiled on AIX 5.2 with xlc
TCP connection to syslong-ng 1.6.9 on Linux.


AIX config has

options {
         sync(0);
         log_fifo_size(10000);
         use_fqdn(yes);
         keep_hostname(no);
         chain_hostnames(no);
         time_reap(60);
         time_reopen(5);
};

When I hup the receiving syslong-ng, the TCP connection is dropped.
The AIX syslog-ng 2.0rc3 does NOT reconnect after 5 seconds.
sending a SIGHUP to the sylog-ng process causes it to reconnect, but
the queued messages do not get sent.

I am not sure if syslog-ng was unaware of the failed connection, 
resulting in it not queueing the messages, or if syslong-ng dropped its 
queued messages when it recieved a SIGHUP.

local files continue to get the messages and remote udp continue to get 
the messages, but they don't get delivered to the tcp destination.

Evan.
