Bruce,
Perhaps a clue to the problem.
I attempted to start tomcat standalone under a debugger. i.e. ./bin/catalina
debug
Then issue the command: run
I then obtained the following error message:
Exception occurred: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError (uncaught) thread="main",
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(), line=502, bci=95
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError

I do not have the source but this may well be the reason why it fails to
start with no message in the log.
Have you the means to guess at the reason behind this?
Regards,
David.
