Package: rsyslog
Version: 8.24.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I just upgraded my system, and rsyslog is writing nothing but garbage to FIFOs. 
 This makes rsyslog nearly useless for me, and I need a working remote syslog 
daemon and rsyslog appears to be the only option anymore.

I have
*.*     |/root/syslog
in /etc/rsyslog.conf, where /root/syslog is a FIFO.  Rsyslog's output looks 
like this:

The log messages sent to rsyslog don't look anything like that.
