Subject: elog (2.6.1+r1642 ubuntu/debian) regularly becomes non-responsive (w/o crashing) 
Greetings~

First, the problem. Fairly regularly (at least once a week, perhaps more), our elog daemon seems to quietly die. The process is still running but anyone attempting to access the server gets "connection refused." The elog log doesn't show anything and the apache logs just show "proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by [path]". Calling a daemon restart doesn't seem to kill the daemon -- I get a "could not bind to port" error. Using kill and then starting the daemon again fixes the problem for a few days and then we start over.

The particulars:
We are running elog on an Ubuntu (6.06 Dapper Drake LTS) web server.
It's currently version 2.6.1+r1642 pulled via apt-get from the Debian repositories.
elog is hiding behind an apache2+SSL proxy.

Any thoughts? Has anyone else seen this behavior? My next step is probably to compile 2.6.2 and remove the packaged flavor but I wanted to see if this was a known bug...

Thanks,
-Peter
