+ * NOTE: This function tries to avoid locking by not destructing the previous value
+ * immediately. This is so that current readers can continue to use the previous name.
+ * Otherwise, we would need to use read/write locks to protect the update process.
+ * In order to do so, we save the previous value and delete it when we are called again
+ * the next time. Note that this in theory is racy and can lead to a double-free.
+ * In practice, however, the window of exposure to trigger this is extremely short
+ * and as this functions is very infrequently being called (on HUP), the trigger
+ * condition for this bug is so highly unlikely that it never occurs in practice.
+ * Probably if you HUP rsyslog every few milliseconds, but who does that...
+ * To further reduce risk potential, we do only update the property when there
+ * actually is a hostname change, which makes it even less likely.
