Thanks, I made this change to /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf and 
rebooted.  It seems to be working so far, so I'll wait to see what happens,

# --nologserver isn't available in 0.28+ (the logserver is disabled by 
default at build time)
#       LANG=$LANG exec /usr/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 --user 
mythtv --daemon
         LANG=$LANG exec /usr/bin/mythbackend --nologserver --user 
mythtv --daemon
