Hi William, thanks for the bug report and the patch. I have now looked into the issue and could reproduce the situation. The patch obviously resolves it.
There is one thing, though: I do not fully understand why you have patched syslogd.c (RS_RET_ERR). I would appreciate if you could provide a bit more insight into the problem you intend to solve. So far, I can not see why this part of the patch is actually needed. I'll integrate the omfile part now. I will also see that I apply this to the other official branches.
