32 I think disabling the logging to the console for the container solves
33 this; I commented out the entries in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:
34
35
36 # destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12");
37 # log { source(src); destination(console_all);
38
39
40 ... and restarted syslog-ng, and the error hasn't come back yet.
