[rsyslog] Output to named pipes not working on v4.5.5?

[Rainer Gerhards]

Hi,

that actually could be a regression caused by the rewrite of omfile. I'll
look at it as soon as I have time, but it probably is a good idea to file a
bug tracker with bugzilla. I first need to finish what I am currently
implementing (custom parser interface) and then I need to look into which
bugs are open and have priority.
