[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng-2.05 Segmentation Fault

[Daniel Szmandiuk]

Syslog-ng experiences a segmentation fault whenever a message is
processed:
 
<stop syslogd first>
# syslog-ng -d -d -v -F -e
syslog-ng starting up; version='2.0.5'
Incoming log entry; line='<28>Nov  9 10:11:24 xinetd[12285]: Exiting...'

Segmentation fault

Platform is VMware Guest running RHEL5 x86_64.
 
I used the following steps to build from source:
 
Download eventlog-0.2.5 source
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install
 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
 
Download syslog-ng-2.0.5 source.
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install

I've basically used the supplied config file for Redhat in contrib
folder. I'm uncommented the relevant lines in order to use syslog-ng in
place of syslogd.
 
Syslog-ng runs OK but as soon as it tries to process a syslog message,
it dies with a segmentation fault.
 
Any ideas anyone?
