I see that Jose already forwarded the bug, but I wonder; can you tell me 
what impact the failed test (and thus failed or potentially failed code 
block) may have on syslog-ng run-time on CentOS-5/RHEL5?

Is this hash problem going to cause critical failures?  Under what 
circumstances?  Or is it, well, it'd be nice if that hash problem didn't 
happen, but it's not a big deal...

Thanks,
JP

software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
