Are you using systemd or something similar? If yes, you should be using
/run/systemd/journal/syslog instead of /dev/log. If not, I'd be curious
to either see a strace of syslog-ng starting up, or an lsof of /dev/log.

I would suggest using system() here, that does the right thing and is
forward-compatible. You will need to @include "scl.conf" before being
able to do so, though.
