[syslog-ng] Not all messages getting to program destination

[Martin Holste]

Swap out the python script with a different python script which simply
writes to a file and verify that looks the way it should (matches your
grep).  That should narrow things down.

The lines parsed per-minute is not matching a grep -c on the file destination. stats indicate no dropped or queued messages to either destination. If I cat the file to the same destination script on the command line, I get the same counts as I do grepping the file directly. I would expect that the script would return the same results from the shell as when running as a destination in syslog.
