More info follows, but v5 has exactly the same tls subsystem as v4. So we need 
to track that bug down.

the rate of change in rsyslog over the last year is dizzying. This makes 
rsyslog a much better progam, but it also means that it's very unlikly 
that the debian maintainers will be able to backport all the fixes.

unfortunantly the current 5.2 stable release has some known problems. the 
5.x development is looking pretty good right now, but it is very much the 
bleeding edge of things.

if you need a newer stable version _now_ go with the latest 4.x

if you can affort to test the 5.x development branch, it will probably 
work (I've found it stable over the last couple of weeks, running at loads 
of ~10,000 logs/sec), but as always you may run into unexpected problems 
(like you did with 4.4.2). I don't use encryption so I can't vouch for 
that part of things.
