[rsyslog] rsyslog 5.3.6 (v5-beta) released

[Rainer Gerhards]

Michael, 

I could reproduce the original bug report, now a bugzilla entry:

http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=169

I guess you don't see any entries in /var/log/syslog simply because rsyslog
hangs and so is unable to process any further message. I suggest you
subscribe to the bug in bugzilla.
