The upstream bug report is inconclusive whether this is fixed or not by
this pull request. See
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/318#issuecomment-159699715

I don't have the setup to test this. So if you want to see this fixed in
stable, it would be great if you can apply the upstream fix on top of
8.4.2 and test whether it actually fixes the issue.

Once that is done, someone needs to ask the stable release team via a
jessie-pu bug for their approval.
I'm happy to prepare a stable release after that.
