I had this problem for quite a while. The first cause is that jabber
doesn't daemonize on its own. So an option to start-stop-daemon is
used to daemonize before execing, but when that option is used you
lose the ability to see error messages after the daemonization point.
In my case, jabberd was trying to write data to stdout (and/or stderr)
but couldn't when start-stop-daemon daemonized it. I sovled it by
modifying the script so 'nohup' is used to start jabberd and put the
output in a file.
