[syslog-ng] Can't get program destination to work

[Martin Holste]

Hm, not sure specifically why that's not working.  I use program, but
I don't have a macro like $HOST in the program declaration, and I
declare the template ahead of time like this:

template t_mytemp { template("foo bar"); };
destination d_mydest { program("/usr/bin/foo", template(t_mytemp)); };

I don't know why my way would work and not yours, but it should be
easy to swap a few things around quickly just to see if it makes a
difference.
