This is a Solaris-specific problem that is worth reporting to Sun.

Perl 5.6.0's behaviour has changed compared to perl 5.005 :
if setlogsock('unix') failed it would retry with 'inet' ; Perl 5.6.0
won't try it. 
Perl developpers told us it will be corrected with Perl 5.6.1.

The bug related to &_PATH_LOG() will also be corrected in Perl 5.6.1

I recommend you try setting 'log_socket_type' to 'inet'

Did you change WWSympa's templates ?
Do you use FastCGI ? (you should first try without FastCGI)
