I've made some progress... it turns out that the statistics logging via 
LogFile mode works only if I start conntrackd with -C 
/etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf... for some reason, leaving the -C 
option off and defaulting to this configuration file doesn't work, even 
though a strace shows a successful open to the file upon initialization.

Syslog statistics mode still crashes... but only if I *disable* LogFile, 
too.

This works perfectly:
Stats {
        LogFile on
        Syslog on
}
This crashes:
Stats {
        LogFile off
        Syslog on
}

CentOS 5.0, kernel 2.6.18, no SELinux, liberal iptables configuration, 
sysklogd 1.4.1

Is there a more appropriate place to report this information?

Thanks for your work on this thus far, this looks like a great addition 
to conntrack-tools!
