[rsyslog] 5.1.3 problems with conditions in rsyslog.conf

[Rainer Gerhards]

David,

thanks for bringing this up. 

Actually, there were two problems in the code: number one was the segfault
but number two was that no message was ever discarded. I have fixed both, but
the second fix might cause some regression. The testbench (now extended to do
a basic test of the discard functionality) runs through without problems, but
obviously it does not yet cover all potential cases [and it will take more
time until it really does...]. I will now leave for my vacation very shortly,
so I cannot do any more in-depth testing and need to hope that this does not
case too bad regressions.

Rainer
