I would strongly recommend upgrading to a newer version of syslog-ng, as
there have been numerous fixes since 3.3.4 that could possibly fix your
issue too.

If you're using Debian or Ubuntu (by using 3.3.4 which is in Ubuntu
Precise and Debian Wheezy, I assume you do), you can find updated
packages at http://asylum.madhouse-project.org/projects/debian/
