clearly something wrong with the logging initialisation.  However, as  
it's in a CPAN module, it's hard to know what is leading into that  
point.  You'd have to add a Slim::Utils::Misc::bt() unless defined  
$self->{'appender'} before that line in order to work back to the line  
in slimserver that is causing the problem.

maybe something in the init.d that is adding bad debug/logfile prefs?   
svn up doesn't handle the init.d, /etc/defaults or prefs file.  In the  
init.d/slimserver, for example there was a --logfile command option,  
which needs to change. It's now:

--logdir $LOGDIR \

and at the top of the file:

$LOGDIR = /var/log/$NAME  (where $NAME = slimserver)
