I have syslog-ng running on two 64-bit Win7 systems, and the service 
stops periodically and can't be restarted.  The file /var/log/syslog.ng 
log contains many lines saying

   Persistent configuration file is in invalid format, ignoring;

But apparently it doesn't ignore the error, and I have to delete 
/var/lib/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.persist before I can restart the service.

I also have an XPSP3 system, on which this problem doesn't occur.

Ken
