And there's nothing after those? I can't really say anything else  
than that if "internal error" comes, there is _always_ written an  
error message about it in the logs, and none of the above messages  
are an error..

What about if you set log_path and info_log_path to different files?  
Is the log_path's file totally empty all the time?
