[syslog-ng] Upper case $HOST

I'm running syslog-ng 3.03 on a RHEL5 system, sending logs to various files
like so:
# global log files
destination deservers {
file("/var/log/$HOST.log" owner(root) group(hobbit) perm(0640));
};
It's working fine on the Linux boxes. But I'm using Adiscon's EventLog on
my Windows machines, and the $HOST name on them are coming up in all caps.
[root at buran log]# ls -la /var/log/*.log
...
-rw-r----- 1 root hobbit 282 Nov 4 14:37 /var/log/KANTECH.log
-rw-r----- 1 root hobbit 535181 Nov 4 14:24 /var/log/PLCDATA.log
Where's this $HOST macro get its data from? The DNS entry is lower case;
the full computer name on the Windows box is lower case. I don't see where
the upper is coming from, unless it's one of those weird Windows-to-Unix
translation things.
Not a big deal, but a bit of an annoyance. Thanks for any help.
