hmm.. I tried your configuration but I could not reproduce any kind of
leaks.

the glib error message that you posted in your first message, triggers
an abort() call, thus syslog-ng will create a core file in this case,
_if_ dumping core files is enabled.

Please enable core dumps using "ulimit -c unlimited". Make sure
syslog-ng indeed generates a core file if it is sent a SIGQUIT signal.
Then, please reproduce the problem, this should result in a core file
being written to syslog-ng's working directory.

Once you have the core file, I'd need some help analyzing it, as it'll
probably be very large (about 2GB in size), please issue the following
commands:

strings <core> | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

and send me the result.

Thanks in advance.
