[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng completely unusable after upgrade

Well shoot...here's what I got...I'm using the stock syslog-ng.conf 
installed with 3.5.4.1 just for testing:

#############################################################################
# Default syslog-ng.conf file which collects all local logs into a
# single file called /var/log/messages.
#

@version: 3.3
@include "scl.conf"

source s_local {
	system();
	internal();
};

source s_network {
	udp();
};

destination d_local {
	file("/var/log/messages");
};

log {
	source(s_local);

	# uncomment this line to open port 514 to receive messages
	#source(s_network);
	destination(d_local);
};


Running strace here's the last bit:

/usr/sbin/syslog-ng -t -d -v -F -f /usr/etc/syslog-ng.conf

open("/usr/lib/libsyslog-ng-3.3.11.so", O_RDONLY) = 10
read(10, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0 at 0\1\000"..., 
512) = 512
fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1427313, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 447784, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 10, 
0) = 0xb79d7000
mmap2(0xb7a40000, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, 
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 10, 0x68) = 0xb7a40000
mmap2(0xb7a44000, 1320, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, 
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7a44000
close(10)                               = 0
write(2, "iv_tls_user_register: called aft"..., 43iv_tls_user_register: 
called after iv_init
) = 43
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0
tgkill(5172, 5172, SIGABRT)             = 0
--- SIGABRT (Aborted) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGABRT +++
Process 5172 detached

And that's it....I'm glad I'm doing this on a virtual machine.  I've 
not been able to anything on this online...thoughts or help are 
appreciated.
