I have integrated the patch (actually the idea as the code has evolved in the mean time). Thanks for the suggestions. Please note that I think this patch tries to fix something outside of the scope of rsyslogd. I have posted full details in the rsyslog's bug tracker [1] as well as in the doc for the new directive [2]. Consequently, this has been changed to a "feature request" from rsyslog's POV. As such, the "patch" goes into the recent devel (4.7.0). It is rsyslog policy never to add new features to stable or beta versions.
I would appreciate discussion on my view that the root cause is outside of rsyslog. Discussion is especially important as I expect that the work-around we now created will no longer work once rsyslog has new, better privilege drop code (probably in the v5 or v6 timeframe).
