I think this is a valid issue. I have only limited time right now, so can we work together on that? I'd do instrumentation and you can run it? I think the environment with the easy repro is fine.

I take it back: I can still crash it, but it's just far harder. Just for good measure I can crash the 7.3.10 AMD64 version from the adiscon apt repository, too. If I use something like: while ((1));do logger "message $RANDOM";done I.e. send messages via. 'logger' in a tight loop, it's just fine. However if I try my logsmash tool (https://github.com/Vanders/logsmash) I can crash imuxsock within a few messages (logsmash -c -l 10), every time. Just for good measure I tried logsmash against rsyslog 5.8.6 and it doesn't crash, so this really could be a new bug in 7.x somewhere. Can you see if you can reproduce what I'm seeing with logsmash? If not then I'll shut up about it and put it down to gremlins, but it might be worth checking quickly? -- Kristian Van Der Vliet _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
