The thttpd server fails to start following upgrade to Debian squeeze.

There are no entries create in /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages or
/var/log/thttpd.log

A system trace reveals the following:

Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

FWIW, the configuration file /etc/thttpd/thttpd.conf is as follows:

# Port: portnum
# Sets the port number which will be listened by thttpd. # Default: 80
#
port=80

# chroot/nochroot
# Sets whether thttpd will chroot after starting. # Default: nochroot
nochroot

# user: userid
# Specified which user to switch after intialiazation when started as
root. # Default: www-data
user=httpd

# host: hostname
# Specifies a hostname to bind to.
# Default: Bind to all supported hostnames on the local machine. #
host=grugler

# Logfile: logfile path
# Specifies a file for logging.
# Default: Log via syslog()
logfile=/var/log/thttpd.log

# throttles: file
# Specifies a file of throttle settings. # Default:
/etc/thttpd/throttle.conf
throttles=/etc/thttpd/throttle.conf

# urlpat: pattern
# Specifies which URL can only be only be accessed from the local server.
# Default: None
# urlpat=*.mpeg|*.mp3|*.wav|*.gz|*.jpg|*.gif

# dir: directory
# Specifies a directory to chdir() to after thttpd starts. # This
directory will most likely be the directory you will be serving your #
clients from.
# Default: `cwd`
dir=/volumes/vol3a/www

# cgipat: pattern
# Specifies which URL may contain executable CGI files. # Default: None
cgipat=/cgi-bin/*

The webserver was working just fine prior to upgrade to squeeze using the
same configuration.
