If you're allowing user-generated output to be written directly to your
logs without any sort of sanitation, you've got bigger problems to worry
about :p Again, it doesn't really make sense to have your fcgi error sent
here- why can't your fcgi process log elsewhere, and leaving the nginx
error log for nginx issues?
