This is probably the same as bug 18, not enough memory, the vasprintf() in glib could not allocate memory and passed a NULL pointer to g_string_append_len()
which caused a failed assertion that formatted another message, which failed again, thus sent a NULL to the internal message handler.

syslog-ng assumes that mallocs never fails and aborts in this case (see bug 18), the interesting point is whether 
syslog-ng actually leaks, or uses the memory for legitimate reasons. It's been a while since I last fixed a memory leak problem.

So I dup this bug to bug #18.
