This still happens :(
... and that's normal, because there were no new syslog releases since! :)
The patch (in correct order this time):
~ $ diff -u /usr/bin/syslog-ng-config.old /usr/bin/syslog-ng-config

owner("system");
Could we have a 3.0.1-2, please? Or a 3.0.x whatever. I recall that
there were some other problems, but those related with upstream code.
I'll probably bump into them in the new few hours :(
Also, as a sidenote, It's very disturbing finding that I'm the only
syslog-ng cygwin user in this 6+ months!?
At least I've no other explanation why no one else had problems with
syslog-ng...
