Logging in future upstart

I'd contend that this assumption, at least after the service is up and
running, is wrong.

My preference would be to turn off SIGPIPE. This can be done trivially
by creating a named pipe for the logger and opening it in O_RDWR mode,
but without subsequently reading from it. :-P

If upstart then (to prevent deadlocks) reads+ignores the data only when
the logger process is _not_ up and running, you get exactly what you want.

In fact, when you get right down to it, almost every explanation
Man came up with for *anything* until about 1926 was stupid.
