doc would  be perfect :-) I'm sorry I didn't have time to do it.

hold on, please. There is still some development and we need to make clear in 
one thing. Here it is:
"-g" accepts only gss connections
"-t" accepts all connections (gss as a plain text)
but, we have a requirement to log both(gss and non-gss). 
Solutions:
1.  -g somePort -t someOtherPort
- this might be easy implemented

2. check if the mesaage is gss or not
- a bit hackish, since there is no protocol

I think patch is OK to release, but I'd like to avoid breaking compatibility 
in the future.

This bug is my nightmare.  I really don't know what to do. I run 2 syslogs in 
valgrind during a weekend. Sendind message via UDP on 64 architecture, 
messages generated every 1/3sec. RESULT: no segfault. :-(

F8 is out for 2 weeks, we have only one bug report. I released an update to 
1.19.10.
