Thanks for checking. I think this is due to the chroot and /dev/log not being available from inside the chroot. A symbolic link from /my_chroot/dev/log to /dev/log may work. (unless the syslog service you are using works differently). Unbound is probably trying to log the errors when calling syslog... unbound -d starts unbound attached to the console, and may show more info.
