Seems like a forked child process crashes and the Net::Server parent
creates another one to fulfill the need to have two running child processes.

See if you get any further information logged by a child process
by setting $log_level to 5 and NOT starting in debug mode.

Since the child seems to be crashing, perhaps 'strace -f' can show
what are the last couple of system calls before the child process disappears.

My wild guess is you may have an inappropriate or mixed-up version
of BerkeleyDB.
