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.
