Exactly - if you knew about them you would have fixed it already.  Try
putting "env > /tmp/bootupenv.out" at the top of your startup script,
then run "env" at the command line where startup works, and compare the
output.

I seem to recall that stunnel is a pain to troubleshoot - it sends its
error messages to syslog.  Maybe you need to disable that - see the man
pages for stunnel:

       output = file
           append log messages to a file instead of using syslog

           /dev/stdout device can be used to redirect log messages to the
           standard output (for example to log them with daemontools splog-
           ger).
