except this)
syslog-ng logs wrong timestamp for periodical timestamp aka MARK.
Sep 1 06:52:01 xxx1 /USR/SBIN/CRON[30926]: (root) CMD (test -x
/usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly ))
Aug 31 22:12:59 xxx1 -- MARK --
Sep 1 07:17:01 xxx1 /USR/SBIN/CRON[5453]: (root) CMD ( cd / run-parts
--report /etc/cron.hourly)
Aug 31 22:37:00 xxx1 -- MARK --
Aug 31 22:57:00 xxx1 -- MARK --
Syslog-ng seems to be writing UTC timestamp for -- MARK --.
(This machine's timezone is +0900, for dual-boot with windows)
In the source code(logmsg.c), MARK message is built with LP_NOPARSE option;
this make it skip for log_msg_parse() to localtime handling.
One of the solution is to change option for MARK.
(I'm using this patch, but I don't know so much about problem caused by this
patch)

Bug#380207: Syslog-ng on PowerPC does not treat facility filtering properly
Package: syslog-ng
Version: 2.0rc1
Syslog-ng on PowerPC does not treat facility filtering properly.
As a result, certain facilities are completely ignored in the conf; goes
into syslog.
It's because of the difference of 'char' type.
When you compile filter.c on PowerPC you will get the following messages :
filter.c: In function 'filter_facility_eval':
filter.c:200: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of
data type
It may be resolved by this patch :
diff -cr syslog-ng-2.0rc1.orig/src/filter.c syslog-ng-2.0rc1/src/filter.c
