(Get the code!)
Regression from bug 517773, which was not completely implemented.
rsyslog needs to check if it can read from /proc/kmsg as non-root, and not drop privileges if not. In other works, seteuid(), read() -> on fail, seteuid(0) and keep it that way, on success -> setuid() -> permanently drop privs.
