I rebuilt the binaries on our hosts with optimization disabled, and I'm
still waiting for it to reoccur so I can gather file descriptor information
and a core. I don't have the leak-detect patch applied.

Let's see what Timo has to say about that log file bit. Since it seems to
happen to you fairly frequently, it might be worth enabling core dumps as
well?
