[syslog-ng] Error resolving user error 3.0.1

[Joost De Cock]

I bumped into exactly the same issue. It seems to be that this bug: 
https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2009-January/012353.html*
*hasn't been fixed yet (or at least not in the tarball you and me 
downloaded).

It's a one character fix that is documented in the message I linked to 
earlier.

It should be fixed in the next release, but if you build from source 
it's a no-brainer to fix.

Kind regards,
Joost
