Bummer, ok, what version of Ubuntu/rsyslogd are you using? I have a
laptop around that should have some recent ubuntu on it, let me go find
it.
It is a Ubuntu 12.04 and rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8.4
My laptop has 12.10, I've not yet tried to reproduce but while staring
at the code I noticed a difference with the other can_nice() tests.
Could you try the below while I build a pristine tip/master for the
laptop?
