[syslog-ng] 3.4 on opensuse factory

[Peter Czanik]

Hello,

When trying to run syslog-ng 3.4 on openSUSE factory, the supervisor 
process starts, but it's child segfaults continuously. I tried to revert 
the big nvtable patch, which solved my problem previously, but it did 
not help.

Here are two backtraces, practically the same:

With the nvtable patch:

(gdb) bt

With the nvtable patch 
(https://github.com/bazsi/syslog-ng-3.4/commit/1c3a37764d98d5a37f2cd3c79f7f40978edb4383) 
reverted:

#10 0x00000000004016e1 in main ()

Is it something in syslog-ng, or I should rather report it at openSUSE?
Bye,
