The logging was not really my problem. It just caused confusion for me
since both instances are setup to use syslog, and I expected one to be
called "nsd" and the other "nsdhm".

Mostly, the problem is with stale pid files, and the use of "pidof" to
determine if a certain instance is still running. Having different
names makes them fully independant of each other.
