I'm working for op5 and we have sometimes this very important to us problem.
So, on boot we expirienced incorrect content of $PID macro, that can't be converted to integer. For example PID contains - PCI0, LNKA, LNKD, ...
I think the problem is in parser, which parse Log Message that contains brackets [], which shouldn't do this, it needs to parse only Log Header for [].
Some more description in my latter on postlist - "Problem with PID macro" (2008-06-10).

Example of inccorect message :
Feb 25 18:23:34 test-system kernel: ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)

Some additional info:
We saw this in syslog-ng premium edition 2.1.9a, in our build of open source syslog-ng 2.2.0 and in old syslog-ng-2.0.5-op5.1_RHEL5 .
I run all the tests on VMWare machine.
