This is not normal but the reason might be anything which brings the
daemon() function to fall. If the logs are also empty then I assume that
you messed something up with your environment, maybe with the
permissions or even with the kernel (like not enabling PTY support or
so). If you don't know for sure, use "strace -f".

I am downgrading your report now because this message should really
include the errno value (decoded to a readable error message).

Regards,
Eduard.
