[syslog-ng] chained hostnames format broken in v3.1.2?

[Paul Krizak]

Hi, all.  Hopefully this is a quick and easy one --

I am working on upgrading our grid from syslog-ng 2.1.4 to 3.1.2.  But 
it looks like chained hostnames are broken now.

Here's what a typical message looked like in 2.1.4:

Nov 19 12:24:58 s_internal at svvspd02 syslog-ng[4083]: syslog-ng starting 
up; version='2.1.4'

And in v3, it now looks like this:

Nov 22 09:17:39 s_self at svvspd02@F<D5>   ^G syslog-ng[2527]: syslog-ng 
starting up; version='3.1.2'

Notice the stray characters after the hostname (this is pasted from 
'less' so the nonprintable chars have been expanded).

This looks suspiciously like a strcpy() gone awry -- like a NULL didn't 
get tacked onto the end of the hostname when the chained hostname string 
was built up.

Is this a known bug?  If so, is there a patch posted in git that I can 
pull down and rebuild?

Thanks!
