Title:
  rsyslog hangs loading modules

Bug description:
  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.

  Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x86_64
  rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8
