I am not using journalctl. I am running stunnel from tcpserver, and both
are outputting logs to stderr. tcpserver accepts the connections and
reports the PID of each newly spawned connection along with both the
local and remote connection details, but stunnel doesn't report its PID
in its logs.  This makes it impossible to match up the local/remote IP
information with the stunnel logs (TLS negotiation and data transfers).
