Thanks for the fix, I'll try to see how it influences my syslog-ng memory 
usage as soon as I'll build new el5 package.

Apart from that leak, I had some performance issues, but I can't blame those 
just on syslog-ng, they were rather a product of slow I/O, $lots of symlinks 
and perhaps some misconfiguration on my side. Not sure which, because in 
a "last resort" move I decided to change my use case. :)

Performance and leak aside, it seems to work fine. Or perhaps I'm yet to learn 
the hard way it doesn't ;-)

I'll report back if leaks I'm seeing now are gone, thanks again.
BTW, any plans for 3.3.0beta3? :)
