I have created a new version which is currently available under the interim name of
http://download.rsyslog.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-1.19.7.tar.gz [***This is NOT 1.19.7 but will become it over time!***] In that version, I have handled NULs that are emitted by faulty senders (and there seem to be lots of them). A quick test both by me and Raoul Bhatia indicates that those NULs disappear. And so do LF NUL (#012#000) as the LF shown is an artifact from the NUL being then the last char of the message). I would now be interested to know if somebody still sees unexpected #000 at the very end of the message. If there are, they now almost for sure identify a rsyslog problem.
