 We generated a patch for a client probably about a year ago against the 
1.4 branch that logged apps for each call, params, and exit status codes 
into a separate file. Like others have said, it generates a tremendous 
amount of data and probably does impact performance on very high load 
servers, but it was very useful to determine EXACTLY what happened with 
a given call.
