This is seemingly still broken :( (and so are my fingers, sorry for the
last email with a subject line describing this and completely different
content).

My syslog-ng-3.3 config is derived directly from a syslog-ng-3.0 config
saving only an adjustment of tcp() and udp(). The config is attached.
syslog-ng-3.0 emits things looking like this:

i.e. ordinary-looking log messages, slightly adjusted.

syslog-ng-3.3 from git head as of yesterday (including the attempted
fix) emits this:

priority_templatepriority_templatepriority_templatepriority_template[...]

endlessly: one 'priority_template' per message, no linefeeds.

It looks like

template priority_template
 {
  template("$S_DATE $HOST $PRIORITY: $MESSAGE\n");
  template_escape(no);
 };

destination by-facility
 {
  file("/var/log/by-facility/$FACILITY" template(priority_template) suppress(30));
 };

is emitting the *words* 'priority_template' into the file.

Full syslog-ng.conf attached, sorry that it's so ugly and verbose, I
want a proper lisp-style macro system. :) or perhaps I can just generate
it from m4... probably there is a really neat way of doing what I'm
doing in here in about six lines, but I haven't revised it much since
the syslog-ng-2.x days and I couldn't find a neater approach then.
