So, this works.  So does another, innocuous script I wrote.  I even 
checked out the daemonize library the other person suggested, and it 
works too.  My pain in the butt actually need it to work as a daemon, 
however, does not work.

What could cause code which works in interactive mode to fail in daemon 
mode?

I'm checking the code now, and I do have "if debug" statements which 
output to STDOUT.  Could that be the problem?

I'm adding some blurbs to try to get the stupid thing to tell me, but it 
seems to die so silently (eg: nothing in syslog, which is where most 
messages are expected to go), that I can't get enough information.

I know it manages to send the "shut down the listener" message, which is 
a "rescue" action.

Hints, suggestions and other comments?
