I tried strace, but it seems not to follow bacula-dir through
daemonization.  Possibly my invocation is wrong.

I did also just notice in Bacula's jobs-run list that it thinks dbcheck
terminated with a fatal error.  This is not apparent from
bacula-dir.log.  I'm running a manual dbcheck now to see whether it
sheds any light.
