segmentation fault
Ahh, so close yet so far. I've setup a central rsyslog
server and am setting up my first client to point to it.

I am going over stunnel. I set it up pretty much like it is
in the secure rsyslog article.


There are some existing logs on the client box. I load
imfile.so module to convert those logs to syslog and send
them over TCP/stunnel to my central logger.

Everytime I try to start it, it dies within seconds. When I
turn on debug mode, I notice the client gets a segmentation
fault.

I have pasted the tail end of the debug output here:

Is it just the sheer number of messages that is causing it
to segfault, or is something else going on?

After MUCH trial & error, I've found the problem. If there
is a blank line in one of the log files being read by
imfile, then rsyslog dies.

I filed a bug:

Thanks for finding out. Looks like we got a bug-fixing day today... Will
update the bug tracker as things progress.
