Thanks for all your help Jon. Since raring is being released next week I can't say for sure when we should expect this into -proposed. I will bring this up in my next meeting (Wednesday) if I am unable to get at least the Precise SRU uploaded by then.
Thanks again Adam ** Description changed: [Impact] We have rsyslog configured to listen for forwarded logs on TCP and UDP, and to forward logs on to a central log host. On a number of occasions we have observed rsyslog in a hung state on our production machines -- not fowarding logs and not writing them to disk locally. It doesn't happen all the time, so I believe there's some sort of race condition involved. I've attached a stack trace taken when the process was hung. I believe the issue is the same as the one discussed here: http://www.gossamer- threads.com/lists/rsyslog/users/5873 There is a patch attached to that thread.
