Hi,
     whenever i try to use logging options in strongswan.conf. after 
starting the charon, it automatically recieves a sigint signal and it 
shows that it has stopped.
but when i see ipsec statusall it still works.
but as it has stopped in logs no further logs are recorded in file.
this problem occurs only when i use re-directed logging if i use normal 
default logging, everything works fine.
what could be the reason.

my strongswan.conf
charon {

         filelog {
                 /log/ipsec.log {
                         time_format = %b %e %T
                         default = 1
                 }
                 stderr {
                         ike = 2
                         dmn = 2
                         ike_name = yes
                 }
         }
}



logs from file ipsec.log
