Bug Description
Hi!
We had to restart syslog-ng because it was using 37GB of memory.
We're on 3.5.3-1 on Trusty.
The syslog-ng changelog says that 3.5.6-1 is "fixing a major memory leak", could that be it?

Quoting the upstream changelog for 3.5.5:
http://
"
* Major memory leaks have been fixed in various parts of
syslog-ng, including but not limited to network and file
destinations and sources, value-pairs (thus affecting
mongodb, $(format-json), and others), template handling and
rewrite rules.
Some of these leaks only happened during reload, some
leaked on every message. They have now been plugged.
"
3.5.6 contains further memory leak fixes which weren't included in 3.5.5 "due to a merging mistake".
