It seems the problem was caused by the fact that I had not given the
slimserver user write permission the log file. As slimserver starts as
root, then changes to the slimserver user, it was initially able to
write to the log file then later found it couldn't - leading to much
confusion. Not strictly a bug in slimserver, but better handling of
the situation would lead to less confused people. :-)

What do we want? Smoother Analog VU with FLAC!
When do we want it? At the soonest possible convenience to the
hard-working yet undervalued Slim Developers. ;-)
