[ewg] /etc/init.d/openibd is tailing /var/log/messages

In OFED 1.4.1rc3, I see the following in /etc/init.d/openibd:

     tail -50 /var/log/messages >> $DEBUG_INFO

That is not a valid assumption; syslogging may be entirely remote.   
For example, I get "tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading:  
No such file or directory" when I run openibd (it failed for another  
reason).
