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:

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?
