Ok. That doesn't explain why 2.0 didn't log the same error, of course.

I don't know how. I develop on Windows. All the Unix support is ported
afterwards without any particular adaptations other than a small amount of
signal handling that I didn't actually write.

There's a Red Hat script function that's supposed to daemonize things, and
it didn't work when I tried it either.

Yes, and I have no idea, since I don't know what the difference is.
