<h1>rsyslogd</h1>
-<h2>stability in multithreaded mode</h2>
-<p>We have some reports that rsyslogd, if compiled with multi-threading enabled,
-segfaults in some environments. We are actively looking at fixing this issue,
-but as it does not occur in our lab environment, that unfortunately takes some
-time. If you experience a segfault, please report it. As a work-around, you can
-compile rsyslog without multi-threading:</p>
-<p>./configure --disable-pthreads<br>
-make clean<br>
-make<br>
-make install</p>
-<p>This somewhat reduces the ability to handle large message bursts, but even in
-single-threaded mode rsyslogd offers great performance (just think that stock
-sysklogd has always been using a single thread, only).</p>
-<h2>forwarding remotely received messages</h2>
-<p>Sysklogd does not forward remotely received messages to other network
-destination except when the -h option is given. This code is currently defunct.
-No matter if -h is specified or not, messages are ALWAYS forwarded. It is
-currently under review if the sysklogd's functionality is actually needed.
-Please see my

-post on this topic</a> for further detail.</p>

-<h2>SIGPIPE HANDLING</h2>
-<p>Currently, SIGPIPE is ignored. This is necessary to handle broken TCP
