If you check out the source code to ACE::demonize() you'll see that by
default it closes all the I/O handles, including the one to syslog. I
therefore recommend you either

1. Initialize the syslog stuff *after* you daemonize a process or

2. Change the default behavior to not close the handles.

Take care,

Doug
