So, the first argument is a format string? You should pass "%s" followed
by head->text then, not head->text directly. If head->text contains the
% characters, you will get errors. I do not think fixing this will fix
your issues though.

I have no idea why it fails. Did you try to put a printf as well as the
syslog call to check whether syslog is really called? Are you 100% sure
that you do not close file descriptors when daemonizing your process?
