           Summary: syslog-ng opens /dev/log device on every HUP without
                    closing it first
           Product: syslog-ng
           Version: 3.3.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: syslog-ng
        AssignedTo: bazsi at balabit.hu
        ReportedBy: michael.hocke at nyu.edu
Type of the Report: bug
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


On Solaris 10 the /dev/log device can be held open concurrently for up to only 16 instances. syslog-ng opens a new instance of /dev/log after HUPing the
process, i.e. after the 16th HUP syslog-ng quits
because the new configuration fails and so does the previous configuration. This has been working fine in 3.0. I cannot test if this started to happen in 3.1,
3.2, or if this is new for 3.3.
