    rsyslog: fix segfault after configuration errors
    
    rsyslog will segfault on startup if
    a) the local machine's hostname is set to a non-FQDN name
    b) the getaddrinfo() system call fails
    This scenario is higly unlikely, but may exist especially with
    provisioned VMs which may not properly be able to do name queries
    on startup (seen for example on AWS).
    
    This patch fixes the situation and also provides more robustness
    for very early startup error messages when some of the error-reporting
    subsystem is not yet properly initialized. Note that under these
    circumstances, errors may only show up on stderr.

+Subject: [PATCH] core bugfix: segfault after configuration errors
+
+rsyslog will segfault on startup if
+a) the local machine's hostname is set to a non-FQDN name
+b) the getaddrinfo() system call fails
+This scenario is higly unlikely, but may exist especially with
+provisioned VMs which may not properly be able to do name queries
+on startup (seen for example on AWS).
+
+This patch fixes the situation and also provides more robustness
+for very early startup error messages when some of the error-reporting
+subsystem is not yet properly initialized. Note that under these
+circumstances, errors may only show up on stderr.
+
+Upstream status: Backport
+
+closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/1573
