For EL5 builds, I added the following to syslog-ng-3.2.1/modules/dbparser/dbparser.h :

	#define g_timeout_add_seconds(i,c,u) g_timeout_add(i*1000,c,u)

Admittedly, I'm not particularly familiar with this and related functions, nor am I using the dbparser component, so haven't verified the behavior. Otherwise using it successfully with 2200 hosts shooting UDP at it .

Curious what the implications are for this ...
