I believe I know why this happens, but I still need to test my
suspicion: bash has an optimisation, that when a program is executed as
"/bin/bash -c command", bash will exec it (as in, it will do the same as
if one called "exec command" from the shell).

Dash doesn't do this, and this might lead to the different behaviour.

This will still need to be solved on the syslog-ng side, but I do not
yet know how. I'll post a patch or more information as I progress
further.
