    I forgot about strace.  It helped some, but once the process forks off,
    I loose it.  It did show some printfs I had added.
    
    I can't remember the trick I once new to debug deamon that forked
    themselves.

The real "trick" is reading the man page of strace(1); I'm not
using Linux but I think there is a flag "-f" or something like
that to get strace(1) follow the childs.
