Interesting. Perhaps it had something to do with the upgrade from fc21
to fc22. lsof also shows nothing was listening on /dev/log, but
systemd is listening on the device you showed:

# ls -l /run/systemd/journal/dev-log
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Aug 10 06:03 /run/systemd/journal/dev-log
[root@mail03 cron.hourly]# lsof|grep dev-log
systemd       1           root   26u     unix 0xffff880036821180
 0t0      14422 /run/systemd/journal/dev-log type=DGRAM
systemd-j   574           root    4u     unix 0xffff880036821180
 0t0      14422 /run/systemd/journal/dev-log type=DGRAM

Somehow it's now stopped, at least for this latest hour, but I'll
change the device to point to the systemd one anyway.

Thanks,
Alex
