memtrace does not work well (e.g. it immediately segfaults) if the slice
allocator is enabled in glib. So to get any success with memtrace, you
need to specify

G_SLICE=always-malloc

in the environment before starting up syslog-ng. However, for simple
memleak debugging valgrind is better than memtrace, so you should stick
to that.
