--- Comment #1 from Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>  2013-06-29 12:26:04 ---
I have fixed this with this patch:

commit fd6e77f64cc510b6b45497fca6b53eb8070f90f6
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>
Date:   Sat Jun 29 12:24:36 2013 +0200

    syslog-format: accept RFC5424 NILVALUE in timestamps

    RFC5424 states:

    In section 6:
    TIMESTAMP       = NILVALUE / FULL-DATE "T" FULL-TIME

    In section 6.2.3
       A syslog application MUST use the NILVALUE as TIMESTAMP if the syslog
       application is incapable of obtaining system time.

    This patch changes syslog-ng to conform to this requirement as it reported
    a parse error instead.

    Reported-By: Vincent Brillault <spam at lerya.net>
    Signed-off-by: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>

It is available on the hotfix/3.4/syslogparse-nilvalue-in-dates branch in the syslog-ng 3.4 repository on github.

@Algernon: can you please merge it to master? Thanks.
