First of all, what's the exact version of your syslog-ng? Precise has a
fairly old version, one that's... not exactly the best release. I'd
suggest you give a try to the packages at:
  http://asylum.madhouse-project.org/projects/debian/

I'd suggest the syslog-ng 3.5 branch from there, and see if the problem
persists with an upgraded syslog-ng. If it persists, let us know, and
we'll help debug the issue further.
