Package: autolog
Version: 0.40-6
Severity: normal
Tags: security

The autolog daemon will run for several days without problems, and then
just spontaneously dies with no error message. I was running autolog
with the '-d' option, and piping stdout and stderr to files. Nothing
ever appeared on stderr. I've included stdout below. It appears that
autolog dies in the middle of retrieving the process list.
