Rainer:

I just got to work and I checked my rsyslog server today and it's
running happily. After upgrading from 1.19.0 to 1.21.0 I didn't have
those segfaults that were happening about every 3 hours. In fact
rsyslog logged just over 1.3g of logs in 3 days.

I'll update to 1.21.1 right now and we'll see how she does.

I upgraded to 1.21.0 december 19., and it's been up since (4h19m cputime,
134h process uptime). No segfaults yet. It hasn't been eating any noticeable
amount of memory either, so I'll probably hold off on the upgrade a bit.

Ah, thats good news! And, yes, if you don't see the mem leak it is probably better to hild off the update, so that we get some more information on the stability. The memleak occurs only when the internal message queue is full, which normally shouldn't happen. So there is a good chance you never see it...
