So, what's the difference between elhttp using "/dev/stdout" as logfile
and e.g. publicfile? Both are invoked the in an equal way by tcpserver,
however, elhttp does not send its logs through the logpipe svscan
creates, but publicfile does. Apparently publicfile sends its logs in a
different way to stdout?
