[rsyslog] abort case

[Rainer Gerhards]

Lorenzo,

I have created a new version with one slight change, to be found in the helgrind branch.

There is also a new valgrind tool called drd inside the valgrind development tree. I think you already downloaded that tree. If so, could you please replace

Valgrind --tool=helgrind .. rsyslogd ...

with

Valgrind --tool=drd .. rsyslogd ...

Drd does an even better job than helgrind. I also changed the source to remove some debug-system related warning, which otherwise would clutter up the error message. But unfortunately, in my lab I did not find any more problems, except for the small change I mentioned. But that one affects program termination (and in a very subtle way), so it should not change anything for you. I'd still be interested in a new run, including debug info, from you.

Thanks,
Rainer
