dbslayer exits immediately

[kimyx]

I've just started using dbslayer. I've built and run it successfully
on my laptop, connecting to a database on a server on the lan. I can
build successfully on that same server, but when I try to run it
there, connecting to the db via localhost or the server name, it seems
to exit immediately -- no dbslayer process is left in memory.

I'm using dbslayer/beta-12 on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS. The only difference
I can see is that my laptop is running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS, and my
laptop gets more regular updates.

Here is ldd on the server machine:

kkokkonen@makemo:/usr/local/bin$ ldd dbslayer
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff9d7ff000)
libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x00007f9915eb6000)

libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f99141a8000)

The ldd output on my laptop looks just the same although checksums are
different,

If I run it under gdb, it says this:

kkokkonen@makemo:~/dbslayer/dbslayer$ gdb /usr/local/bin/dbslayer
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.1-ubuntu
Reading symbols from /usr/local/bin/dbslayer...done.
(gdb) run -c /opt/dbslayer/dbslayer.cnf -s processing_status
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/dbslayer -c /opt/dbslayer/
dbslayer.cnf -s processing_status
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
[New Thread 0x7ffff5eaf700 (LWP 8630)]
[Thread 0x7ffff5eaf700 (LWP 8630) exited]

Program exited normally.

I don't see any interesting messages in /var/log.

I tried adding the -e and -l options to the command line but no output
is written.

The cnf file is simple:

[processing_status]
database=processing_status_kim
host=makemo
user=xxxx
pass=yyyy

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help. This software is just what I need...
