I think you need to startup ethereal or some other packet sniffer to
see if you are really sending the logout messages. If the logs don't
show this, I would be very suspicious.

My initial theories are strange holiday-schedule issues with respect to my Session settings, though I don't know why today would be any different than a normal "Monday" from QuickFIX's perspective.  The fact that the 35=5 messages aren't even logged doesn't help much.

First  verify your side is sending the logout msgs.
