           Summary: Daemon stops reading from unix-dgram source following
                    charset decoding error
           Product: syslog-ng
           Version: 3.3.x
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674099
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: ASSIGNED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: syslog-ng
        AssignedTo: algernon at balabit.hu
        ReportedBy: algernon at balabit.hu
Type of the Report: bug
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


As explained in the Debian bug report (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674099), when we have an unix-dgram() source with encoding set, and we
send invalid data there, no further messages will be processed.

It's easy to reproduce, and only seems to happen with unix-dgram (tcp at least does not exhibit this problem). I'm not quite sure yet why this happens - the
source is kept open, just doesn't seem to be handled at all.
