Interesting...rsyslogd does not segfault when running under valgrind. Is this expected?
The output I see from stderr is a bit lengthy to post, but here's what's at the top: ==8994== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==8994== Copyright (C) 2002-2010, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==8994== Using Valgrind-3.6.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==8994== Command: /opt/rsyslog_TEST/sbin/rsyslogd -f /etc/rsyslog.conf -c 6 -x -n -d ==8994== rsyslogd: warning: selector line without actions will be discarded ==8994== Thread 11: ==8994== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==8994== at 0x418315: cnfexprEval (rainerscript.c:1179) ==8994== by 0x4190DE: cnfexprEvalBool (rainerscript.c:1208) ==8994== by 0x43A82B: processBatch (rule.c:181) ==8994== by 0x4398AD: processBatchDoRules (ruleset.c:147) ==8994== by 0x428D0E: llExecFunc (linkedlist.c:389) ==8994== by 0x439C55: processBatch (ruleset.c:229) ==8994== by 0x40CBC0: msgConsumer (syslogd.c:608) ==8994== by 0x43936D: ConsumerReg (queue.c:1791) ==8994== by 0x4344B0: wtiWorker (wti.c:313) ==8994== by 0x433FF9: wtpWorker (wtp.c:387) ==8994== by 0x504A7F0: start_thread (in /lib64/libpthread-2.12.so) ==8994== by 0x116646FF: ??? ==8994== ==8994== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==8994== at 0x418315: cnfexprEval (rainerscript.c:1179) ==8994== by 0x4182E5: cnfexprEval (rainerscript.c:1121) ==8994== by 0x4189D0: cnfexprEval (rainerscript.c:1149) ==8994== by 0x4190DE: cnfexprEvalBool (rainerscript.c:1208) ==8994== by 0x43A82B: processBatch (rule.c:181) ==8994== by 0x4398AD: processBatchDoRules (ruleset.c:147) ==8994== by 0x428D0E: llExecFunc (linkedlist.c:389) ==8994== by 0x439C55: processBatch (ruleset.c:229) ==8994== by 0x40CBC0: msgConsumer (syslogd.c:608) ==8994== by 0x43936D: ConsumerReg (queue.c:1791) ==8994== by 0x4344B0: wtiWorker (wti.c:313) ==8994== by 0x433FF9: wtpWorker (wtp.c:387) ==8994== ... We'll be trying out the master head branch shortly.

Could you run it under valgrind control? If it is mis-adressing, valgrind is usually extremely helpful. Also, can you try git master branch head? Or is there anything specific in the elasticsearch branch that you need for your plugin?
