No need for that, I'm also here.

I'd expect the "gnutls 2.12.20 initialized." here, just as below.

So, can you please check whether more lines got lost by coincidence?
Wild guessing, the x509 private key file isn't readable by the irc
user ngircd runs as. But that will result in an error message, too.

How do things look if ngircd is started as the irc user, i.e.
"su -c /usr/sbin/ngircd irc"? The init scripts does quite the same,
that could explain the different behaviour to ngircd called from
command line (as root).
