Gentlemen, I do believe that I have located my problem. It seems that the PRNG is not producing enough random bytes before stunnel starts so it never creates a stable tunnel and syslog-ng is unable to send outbound messages. I appreciate all your help in tracking this down.

I understand what you guys are saying, but the programs are called using the fully qualified path to them.
