[rsyslog] rsyslog 5.3.6 (v5-beta) released

[david at lang.hm]

I've now had v5.3.6 running on my production environemnets since friday 
with no problems

one side effect of the cleanups is that previously when I had multiple 
filters write to one file I was getting lots of corrupt lines, but the 
change to have omfile write each transaction rather than just as the 
buffer filled up seems to have eliminated this (it went from 10's of 
thousands of corrupted lines/day to none over the weekend and monday, 
tonight's report will be the acid test to see if it's fully cleaned up)

I realize there is still a window for corruption (if two output threads 
running at the same time both decide they need to write at the same time), 
but it seems that in practice it's effectively gone.
