Thanks Mario!
I'm cutting this down a bit for readability ...

This seems to happen at a time the process is already
broken and the logging dead. Any chance to catch the
logrotate that switches it from working to failing if
that shows anything different?

Yeah that really means it is active but not taking up messages it should
take :-/

The file did not get mirrored/attached in case that was a mail attachment.
Could someone get that attached to the bug on launchpad?


Also since this again was called a "crash" (I doubt since in the
logs before it seemed the PID stayed the same, but if there is a
chance) is there a crash file in /var/crash for it?
