Comment 0 for bug 1169740

We have rsyslog configured to listen for forwarded logs on TCP and UDP, and to forward logs on to a central log host. On a number of occasions we have observed rsyslog in a hung state on our production machines -- not fowarding logs and not writing them to disk locally. It doesn't happen all the time, so I believe there's some sort of race condition involved.

I've attached a stack trace taken when the process was hung. I believe the issue is the same as the one discussed here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rsyslog/users/5873 There is a patch attached to that thread.

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x86_64
rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8
