[syslog-ng] importing old syslog-ng messages

[Daniel L. Spells Sr.]

Mike,

When I add the hack and cat the log to /var/log/reapply.pipe I get the
following message:  "Message length overflow, line is split,
log_msg_size=4096"

It is like it is reading in the whole file as one line, but it also
happens whe I try to send just one line.

Any ideas?
