Comment (by drjohnson1984):

 There isn't much to tell.  I'm running a 0.3.3.7 tor relay.  I also have
 the tor source.  When it receives sigusr2, right after it changes the log-
 level settings in the signal handler, it calls log_debug saying it had
 switched to debug-level.  I never see this message.

 Let me go back and check a couple of things.  Make sure the rsyslogd isn't
 somehow routing debug-level messages to someplace other than
 /var/log/messages.  I will also start tor with debug-level logging to
 verify it is logging correctly.  I will update once I have done these
