Sounds like the old Solaris-tickled bug in Log::Dispatch::Syslog --
the module refuses to work if /dev/log isn't a socket, IIRC.

Workaround: Set($LogToSyslog, undef) and log your debugs to a file
instead.

OK, that's interesting. I thought that one was fixed in 3.0.10.
It'd be interesting to see what led up to that -- in particular,
what search criteria were last submitted...

These lines might also provide some insight.
