Description Karel Srot 2011-12-21 12:43:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is different bug from 637959, although symptoms are the same.

Workaround is to move $InputTCPServerRun 6514 behind other directives.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

Following /etc/rsyslog.conf seems to be enough to reproduce the bug

$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
$ModLoad imuxsock.so
$ModLoad imklog.so
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 6514
$DefaultNetstreamDriver gtls
*.* /var/log/messages
 
1. service rsyslog start
2. top

Actual results:
rsyslog eats memory and CPU is 100%
