Unfortunately I don't know what the "this" is because that trace 
stripped all symbols --- at least in kernel land.  In useland its pretty 
obvious: refcount overflow detected in: syslog-ng.  So some syscall 
initiated by syslog-ng is hitting up against the overflow.  An strace 
might tell us what syscall, but it might be hard to go from there to 
where in the kernel the overflow happens.

Not to sound like a snotty dev, but please open bugs with these oopses 
so we have a record in bugzilla.  Email just buries this info.
