[syslog-ng] Memory leaks...?

[Alexander Clouter]

Hi,

Strange, I was just chatting about this with my colleague a minute ago and 
turned to look at the mail I received and here is your email...spooky.

Up to about a two weeks ago (for six months) syslog-ng started off with 2MB 
of RAM usage and I had about two weeks before I had to restart it as it 
creeped up to 2GB.

We were running 2.0.5 however when I moved to 2.0.7 the problem disappeared.
 
I guess I would recommend you up to a newer version, there have been a lot of 
bug fixes since 2.0.2 and you should move on :)

Cheers
