Jack, I have written this small patch for v4:
http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commitdiff;h=9cfa072caa0ba1863c89ae6b 41d1c5838b9a42b0 I assume it will apply without problems in v5 as well, but I have not yet tried as I am doing some more work on v4 first (hoping to be able to save a merge or two, which clutter up the git history...).
