[rsyslog] rsyslogd not reconnecting when using tcp or omrelptransports

[Rainer Gerhards]

I suggest to turn on debug logging on both the client and sender:

http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-troubleshoot.html

Often, the debug log points to an obvious problem source. If it does not,
feel free to mail me the logs to rgerhards at gmail.com BUT let me know you did
so - I usually do not monitor this account.
