Package: syslog-ng
Version: 1.9.8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Installed latest syslog-ng from unstable.
When an event of priority crit is logged it is repeated until
/var/log/syslog reaches 2Gb (2048Mb), and then the syslog-ng process
dies.
Are you sure that this is a single event being logged repeatedly, as opposed
to repeated critical events?
yes
when issuing logger -p crit junk
Reverted to latest stable version, all is now fine.
So after reverting, you're getting a single critical event logged?
yes
Strange thing is it only happens on one of my computers.
All running the same version, and all receiving critical events?
yes
