[Bug 933943] [NEW] rsyslogd please apply patch for large group handling

[Alec Warner]

Public bug reported:

http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310

rsyslog uses a static 2048 character buffer to perform group lookups.
Some of us have large groups and need a larger buffer. This patch
repeatedly calls getgrnam_r until it gets a buffer of sufficient size.
