That was my take on it. Do you know what changed? Did Leopard
change the permissions of the parent and children Apache processes?
It was a change to the adaptor code so that the log files are not
world writable.
svn diff -r 8053:8054 ~Wonder/Utilities/Adaptors/Adaptor/log.c
That does not seem like a good change. While the added security is
nice in theory, the lack of working in practice seems to out weight it.
To start with, I've changed the Adaptor to report serious error
messages to the Apache logs in addition to the WO logs. It looks
like this code has been inactive for sometime (read decade) due to
upper case vs mixed case mismatch.
Testing: priceless.
Well, actually, in this case, having a test case which would catch
this case would be an interesting trick! ;-)
It would have to be a manual test. If it is not worth testing, it is
not worth writing. :-)

(Given that the adaptor is written to load into multiple webserver
and sometimes multiple versions.)
