Yes, I made a mistake. Looks like /sbin/service does not prevent stderr from
showing up ;)

Find a fix for the recent v3-stable here:

http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commitdiff;h=ff6232d2bee06fbbc25ad83a1cf3bb798884679a

It keeps stdout and stderr open across fork(). Thus, error messages can be seen
at wherever they point to. I would still suggest to *log* the emitted error
messages, if any, via a rule, because you obviously will not see these error
messages during an automated system startup.

Note that there is also an additional small cleanup fix in git (or remove the
fprintf(stder, ...) after main() yourself.
