If you are using BalaBit supplied 2.1 binary packages, then you can find
the needed libdbi packages on the download pages of syslog-ng:

http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/opensource-logging-system/upgrades/

The link for the libdbi package that you need is:

http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/open-source-edition/pkgs/pool/l/libdbi8/rhel-5_syslog-ng-2.1/libdbi8-0.8.2bb2-3.rhel5.i386.rpm

But the real question is whether your experienced 100% CPU usage is the
same as the fix in 2.1.3. Can you post an strace of the running process
as it is eating your CPU?
