One more note: To be honest, the behaviour of OpenVZ seems to make more sense than upstream Linux. I mean, what if a file called "/usr/sbin/rsyslogd (deleted)" actually exists? There is no way to distinguish whether this program was executed from a deleted version of "/usr/sbin/rsyslogd", or the current version of "/usr/sbin/rsyslogd (deleted)". The way OpenVZ makes it, however, these cases are easy to distinguish: If the link does not start with "/", it does not refer to an actually eixsting file.
