+Subject: [PATCH] bugfix: size-based legacy config statements did not work
+ properly
+
+on some platforms they misadressed memory, which could also lead
+to a segfault on startup. The problem is NOT experience on amd686
+in 64bit builds -- that's probably the reason this bug was uncovered
+very late. We assume, it's present in all v8 versions.
+
+Thanks to Michael Biebl for alerting us of it.
+
+closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/270
