Perhaps we should do this.  I'm trying to remember if we had a good
reason for making it a subclass of Service.

Actually it doesn't seem to help - nothing gets logged except in the
Event Log.  It takes about 10-15 minutes for this to happen, btw.  A
little Google searching indicates that the SCM is receiving an
unexpected exit somehow, so I may slap some extra code in to "watch" the
SCM to see what's going on.
