Typo in error message when file in cat /non/existent/file does not exist

[sirkrypt0]

Expected behavior

The error message does not contain typos.

Actual behavior

The errors message looks like this: /* file cound not be accessed - seeerror messages */.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

In your rsyslog config, use something like this and send something to the syslog, e.g. using logger "test".

set $.test = `cat /non/existent/file`;

$template TEST,"<%PRI%> %TIMESTAMP% %HOSTNAME% %PROCID% %MSGID% %.test%\n"

*.*;auth,authpriv.none action(type="omfwd" target="172.17.0.1" port="514" protocol="UDP" template="TEST")

Notice that the message contains the error message with the typos.
