Actually I postponed this until I'd had time to think about how this 
interacts with modules which create "daemon"-like children (e.g. cgid) 
which are forked from the parent and hence inherit the piped logger fds.

I think that along with this change some hook to ensure that the pipes 
get closed in such children (and e.g. the listener socket too) would be 
necessary.
