Jonah, Oh, and the reason you don't get crash.log even though you have core dumps is because of forks. A single fork crashes and creates the core dump, but the process that generates the debug.log runs from the script that runs the whole server process. Thus you'll only get debug.log if the whole server process dies, not just a fork within it.
