well, whenever there is a problem with one of the storage modules, it
simply exits:
e.g. if the db is unavailable or (like I had this morning) the
filesystem where the db resides is full. Last week I tried to use the
file_output and mysql storage modules, but the file_output module
would not load (haven't figured out why yet, it just said
"storage_file_output module failed to initialize itself").  In all
these cases, perfparsed exited.

The question of course is, what should perfparsed do? Should it exit
or not? I don't think there's a simple answer to that, except that in
case of failure, I'd like to know about it :) One place I look at is
the error log. The things I'd like to add to the error log is some
extra info when a module is succesfully initialised, a bigger buffer
for error messages (they get truncated at 256 chars), and a clear
'perfparsed stopped' message whenever there is a fatal error.
