[rsyslog] Queuing bug (4.5.5) / Problem in production

[Rainer Gerhards]

excellent news. I have reviewed the debug log handling. It looks like we can
use the current version, mabe just slightly modified, to generate debug
output when a problem occurs by sending SIGUSR1 to it. I hope to be able to
complete testing on monday. If it works out like I expect, I'll do a write-up
of how it can be done.
