        Hi,
this message is syslog-ng notice message, which tell you it hasn't drop
any /dev/log packets.
(this feature seem not connected as far as I can see)

You can rid of this message with something like that:

filter f_syslog { not facility(auth, authpriv, kern) and \
                not match("STATS: dropped 0")};

you probably better do something like that in the source code to avoid
pattern matching on all syslog target packet, but you'll need a recompilation
of your syslog-ng. :)
