Debian 2.6.26, tomcat from the Debian package (apt-get, etc.), starting
it with the init.d script. I did find the startup command line had
output and error directed to SYSLOG, but I changed that and directed to
/var/log/tomcat6/stdout and /var/log/tomcat6/stderr; although there's a
few bytes in stderr.out, about non-persistent memory, there's none of my
System.err.println output.
There's bound to be only a finite number of places where you can tell
Tomcat where to put the standard output and error, right? Or the other
logs, for that matter. I've been scratching my head over this for a
week, and just today discovered the command line issue redirecting to
SYSLOG and changed that. Still none of my output, though.
For thoroughness, here's the startup script, and thanks for the help:

Subject: Re: Console Output Not Going Anywhere
It is the "standard" internal tomcat logging mechanism contained in the
distribution of tomcat 6, based on java.util.logging.
1) What platform (OS) are you running on?
2) Are you using a Tomcat downloaded from tomcat.apache.org, or some 3rd-party
repackaged version?
3) How are you starting Tomcat?
