I can't see what; this is on a little test box, and nothing else is
running.

In desperation, I've opened it up completely, still with no joy:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root other 0 Aug 30 08:53 pg.log

I also had it owned by postgres at one point. Anyway, I don't think
it can be a file problem, because running syslogd with debug on
doesn't show anything coming _in_ from postgres (unless I kill the
server with a client connected, because that throws a FATAL exception
which is caught). That suggests to me it must have something to do
with the facility that postgres is sending to, or my config file.
I'm really stumped.

I've used it elsewhere, too, which is why I'm so puzzled.
