When sending a message that begins with { over the network the leading parenthesis and white space are lost.

I've tested this on 3.3.4 with a manually compiled version and the version distributed with Ubuntu.  Both are impacted by this bug.

Here is a simple configuration to try:

--------- syslog-ng.conf ---------
source s_src {
   system();
};

source s_udp { udp(ip(127.0.0.1)); };
destination d_testfile { file("/var/log/test_json" template("$MSG\n")); };
destination d_udp_addparen { udp("127.0.0.1" template("{ second: { $MSG\n")); };
destination d_filedirect { file("/var/log/test_jsondirect" template("{ second: { $MSG\n")); };
log { source(s_src); destination(d_udp_addparen); destination(d_filedirect); };
log { source(s_udp); destination(d_testfile); }; 
-------- end syslog-ng.conf -------

# echo "{ json type message }" | logger
# tail /var/log/test_jsondirect
{ second: { { json type message }

# tail /var/log/test_json
second: { { json type message }
