[syslog-ng] Syslog messages not stored in separate lines

[Balazs Scheidler]

If there's an initialization error with a config at reloading, syslog-ng
can fall back to the old one. Can this happen? Or two destinations writing
the same file?

If the problem persists, can you create minimal example with complete with
config and sample message that you send and which reproduces the issue?

Thanks
