This indicates to me a configuration issue (the last line:
"osrf_settings_host_value_object: config pointer is NULL").  Please
check /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml to ensure the hostname matches.
Near the end is a section to load the modules for your specific host.
It should be encapsulated in <eg-server.main.chelmsfordlibrary.org>
</eg-server.main.chelmsfordlibrary.org> (this appears to be the
hostname OpenSRF is attempting to bootstrap against).  My hunch is
these tags are wrong with either a different hostname (like...
<eg-server> </eg-server>) or have a typo (as suggested by Dan W.).

If the configuration looks right, sending your configurations and logs
to us may be helpful...
user$ su opensrf
opensrf$ mkdir /tmp/openils
opensrf$ cp -Rv /openils/{var/log,conf} /tmp/openils
opensrf$ cd /tmp/openils/conf
/* Take this moment to go through the conf and sanitize it of any
sensitive passwords */
opensrf$ cd /tmp
opensrf$ tar -cjf openils.tar.bz2 openils/

and send us openils.tar.bz2.
