Adding "system" to the verbose settings should cause a log entry each
time mythlogserver is started up. A line like:

 >2013-01-22 19:31:10.371307 I [401/28931] Logger system-unix.cpp:868

I've changed the mythlogserver parameters as suggested, but as yet 
haven't had the problem appear. Will these new settings survive a 
reboot, or do I need to specify them each time?
