You do know that you usually don't have a /home/ directory on Mac OS X? On Mac OS X it's called /Users/.
Yeah, that was me running the same code on Ubuntu.
BTW, running that on Mac OS X 10.6.3 does not cause a crash. Although it doesn't seem to print or write anything.
That's the problem i can't pin down. It writes the above log file to /var/log/system.log. other than that there is no feedback at all, the program just ends without writing to the open file.
It seems to be related to the daemon code as it doesn't happen when that code is commented out.
