Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rsyslog

Chasing the trail of a hung "run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily" with a
defunct logrotate child, I found that rsyslogd was holding an open fd to
the write end of run-parts' pipe as its stderr.

It seems that rsyslogd is inheriting stderr from the process executing
"/etc/init.d/rsyslog reload" and holding it open  -  this is bad.
