One more note:
To be honest, the behaviour of OpenVZ seems to make more sense than
upstream Linux. I mean, what if a file called "/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
(deleted)" actually exists? There is no way to distinguish whether this
program was executed from a deleted version of "/usr/sbin/rsyslogd", or
the current version of "/usr/sbin/rsyslogd (deleted)". The way OpenVZ
makes it, however, these cases are easy to distinguish: If the link does
not start with "/", it does not refer to an actually eixsting file.
Kind regards
Ralf
