Setting the env var STUPID_LOG_FILE tells Zope where to log
event messages.

OK.

On UNIX (in the "start" shell script):

export STUPID_LOG_FILE='var/debug.log'

If you're on Windows, it's probably something like:

set STUPID_LOG_FILE=c:\path\to\var\debug.log

It may be that the very act of doing this causes your errors
to go away.  Perhaps stderr was disappearing somehow.
