Re: [gentoo-user] Syslog-ng using a spectacular amount of CPU time... (I'm using sshguard)

Oh, and strace shows syslog-ng frantically polling file-descriptor 3... 
which, I presume, is the pipe to the sshguard process.

poll([{fd=6, events=0}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 8, 1178000) = 1 
([{fd=6, revents=POLLERR}])
gettimeofday({1237836567, 385148}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1237836567, 385178}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=6, events=0}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 8, 1178000) = 1

Do others get this behaviour - is this a bug in syslog-ng?
