[syslog-ng] stats_freq ignored in config version 3.0?

[Peter Volkov]

Hi, I've just upgraded syslog-ng up to 3.0.4 and configuration files up
to version 3.0. Now I have the following config:

========================================================
@version:3.0

options {
        stats_freq(4320);
};

source src {
    unix-stream("/dev/log" max-connections(256));
    internal();
};

destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
log { source(src); destination(messages); };
========================================================

The problem I experience is that -- MARK -- is printed every 20 minutes
no matter what I put into /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf stats_freq
option argument:

Nov 12 17:56:32 stage4 syslog-ng[25815]: syslog-ng starting up;
version='3.0.4'
Nov 12 18:16:32 stage4 -- MARK --
Nov 12 18:36:32 stage4 -- MARK --

Does anybody else experience this? What could cause this? I've managed
to reproduce this problem on two linux systems with kernel 2.6.27 and
2.6.31. How to debug this kind of problem? Thanks in advance for any
hint.
