1107782 - Package installation on RHEL 5 clients via the UI does not trigger any processes

Also fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104358

Caused by python 2.4 comparability issue in the gofer syslog handler.  In python 2.4, a log handler raising an exception seems to cause logging.Logger.exception() to never return thus blocking the thread from continuing forever.
