[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 3.3.6 Hangs on Solaris 8 sparc

[Rakesh Rajasekharan]

Hi,

I have tried this with 3.3.7 and even with this version the syslog-ng
daemon hangs...( the prompt is not received back).
# /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.6/sbin/syslog-ng -f
/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -p
/var/run/syslog-ng.pid

(prompt is not returned back)
The process though seems to be running

#  ps -ef|grep -i syslog
    root  3456  3450  0 04:47:16 pts/4    0:00 grep -i syslog
    root  3445  6926 47 04:46:14 pts/2    1:02
/opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.6/sbin/syslog-ng -f
/opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/s
#

Below is the debug output.

# /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-3.3.7/sbin/syslog-ng -Fvde

Not sure if the issue points to some issues with my system or syslog-ng..

Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh.
