This patch fixes the event type used to log output from the

stderr-in-service or output-from-syslogger-in-service code. Previously
everything was flagged as ERRORs there, which caused all instances to
log "LOG: logger shutting down" as error...

Please apply for 8.1. I'd also like it considered for 8.0 since logging
non-errors as errors can be cause for alarm amongst people who actually
look at their logs...
