Hi all, after some struggle, a new status: Thanks to David's data sets, I think I have finally been able to find a code spot that may be troublesome. It also is in an area that we already had under suspicion. While it is too early to say if I finally found the issue, it looks very promising.
If I am right, the problem is actually environment-induced, what would also explain why other users did not yet report anything and I did not see anything in my lab so far. The ultimate root cause may even be a formatting error in another rsyslogd instance further up in the relay chain. If so, I'll try to work upward from where to problem currently occurs to the above-it root cause. I just thought I share this new information with you.
