My OS is Linux (SuSE 8.2) and the result is

ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the /dev/stdout file.

or

ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the /dev/fd/1 file.

When running under svscan /dev/stdout and /dev/fd/1 are:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root    4 May 22 18:50 /dev/stdout -> fd/1
l-wx------  1 root   root   64 Oct 31 15:49 /dev/fd/1 -> pipe:[287250]

But the program runs with privileges of a normal user.
