Hi Mike:

Many thanks for the effort, but I didn't end up testing your patch,
because in the mean time Bill committed a fix to Logger.pm for some
behaviour related to the bootstrap.conf => opensrf_core.xml changes
that I clearly didn't understand. It seems that this patch resolved my
problems.

On the other problem I reported about open-ils.actor_unix.log
containing some nasty error messages, it turns out that the problem
was that in /etc/apache2/startup.pl I was pointing to
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.conf instead of
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml for the config files. Argh. Once I made
that change (prompted by reading the error messages reported in
Apache's own error log), everything is working very smoothly again.

Phew.
