In addition  the syslog-ng receive logs from about 1000 clients  when the
usage of mem by syslog-ng keep growing
I think maybe the reason of the problem is that there are so many log files
being writted .
I do another test ,using the same verson and  the configure file,but
receives logs from only one client,and usage of mem by syslog-ng doesn`t
keep growing.
But I don`t know the relationship between them.

The   version of syslog-ng is 2.0.5
the configure file  as follows:

options { use_dns(no); create_dirs(yes);ts_format(iso); }; 
#options { log_fifo_size(3000); };
source src { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) ); };

filter f_kern { facility(kern); };
filter f_authpriv { facility(auth,authpriv); };
filter f_mail { facility(mail); };
filter f_cron { facility(cron); };
filter f_boot { facility(local7); };
filter f_spooler { facility(uucp, news) and level(crit..emerg); };
filter f_messages { level(info..emerg) and not facility(authpriv, cron,
mail); };

#destination kern { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/kernel-$MONTH"); };
#destination authpriv { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/secure-$MONTH");
};
#destination mail { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/maillog-$MONTH"); };
#destination cron { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/cron-$MONTH"); };
#destination boot { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/boot.log-$MONTH"); };
#destination spooler { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/spooler-$MONTH");
};
#destination messages { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/messages-$MONTH");
};
destination kern { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/kernel-$HOUR"); };
destination authpriv { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/secure-$HOUR"); };
destination mail { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/maillog-$HOUR"); };
destination cron { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/cron-$HOUR"); };
destination boot { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/boot.log-$HOUR"); };
destination spooler { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/spooler-$HOUR"); };
destination messages { file("/home/syslog-ng/$YEAR/$HOST/messages-$HOUR");
};

log { source(src); filter(f_kern); destination(kern); };
log { source(src); filter(f_authpriv); destination(authpriv); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(mail); };
log { source(src); filter(f_cron); destination(cron); };
log { source(src); filter(f_boot); destination(boot); };

This seems to be a lot indeed. Can you send us your configuration file
to see what might be specific in your deployment? And could you also
tell us the version of syslog-ng you are using?

If this information is not enough to narrow down the problem I might
need a core file of syslog-ng, but let's see the info first.
