[syslog-ng] io.c: bind_inet_socket() bind failed Address already in use

[Lucky Y]

Hi,

We use syslog-ng 1.6.12 in RHEL4.
As part of our system testing we restart syslog-ng 150 times in a loop
along with other services in the server.

syslog-ng fails to come up 3/4 times with the error :
"io.c: bind_inet_socket() bind failed 192.168.128.1:601 Address already in use".

Is this a known problem in syslog-ng 1.6.12 ? Or is it a configuration problem ?

Part of the syslog-ng.conf :


# Options ########################################################

options {
        log_fifo_size(15000);
        stats(86400);
        time_reopen(5);
        log_msg_size(65536);
};


# Source definitions ##############################################

source src {
        tcp(ip("Server") port(601) keep-alive(yes) max-connections(100));
        udp(ip("Server") port(514));
        unix-stream("/dev/master_log");
        internal();
};
