You're referencing exactly the same sources (like /dev/log,
/proc/kmsg)? This config is horribly broken. I can't imagine how was
syslog-ng 2.0.9 working with such a config. You should eliminate all
duplicated sources. You can add as many log {} sections using the same
source definition as you wish.
