Oh, maybe I understand your case:

 1) the standard output from your DeleGate is directed to some pipe or socket
 2) you don't have permission to create or write your "/var/log/stdout.log"
 3) the pipe or socket is closed till here
 4) something is written by DeleGate to the stderr
 5) it causes SIGPIPE and exit

If this is the case, changing one of above conditions will solve the problem.

  You are setting your log directory (LOGDIR="/var/log") owned by root 
  (not recommended) while running your DeleGate as "nobody" (recommended).

> 3) the pipe or socket is closed till here

  It might be the message informing the error of fopen and could be
  escaped as the enclosed patch.

> 5) it causes SIGPIPE and exit

  Maybe it should be ignored in the main process of DeleGate.
