[syslog-ng] syslog-ng dumps core on SLES i586

[Matthur, Ananda (STSD)]

Hi All,

  I am trying to use syslog-ng (default on SLES) on a SLES 10 i586
machine. When I try to execute a 

  kill -s HUP 'pid-of-syslog-ng',

 it is crashing, dumping core. Gdb shows the following info:

 

sgmlx1:/ # ls

1    boot  core  etc   lib    mnt  proc  sbin  subdomain  test  usr

bin  clog  dev   home  media  opt  root  srv   sys        tmp   var

sgmlx1:/ # gdb /sbin/syslog-ng core

#0  0x8000f9a6 in do_handle_afinet_dest () from /sbin/syslog-ng

Looks like it is doing some invalid operation to cause segmentation
fault. I tested the same scenario

 on both ia64 and x86_64 architectures. Segmentation fault occurs only
on i586. Is this a known bug 

in syslog-ng? Is a patch available for this?

 

Thanks and regards,
