[syslog-ng] memory exhausted in /opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf at line 5347

[Balazs Scheidler]

I've now looked into this. Although the generated parser allocates the
stack dynamically, it seems there's a builtin limit of 10k elements by
default.

This can be changed by adding the following line to cfg-grammar.y:
(somewhere where other defines are listed):

#define YYMAXDEPTH 20000

Assuming that 20k would be enough for your purpose. I really don't see
why your configuration file needs so much space, but anyway, this is the
way to solve this problem.

After changing .y file you need to recompile (you'll also need bison,
since you'd be changing the .y file).
