Thanks to everyone who replied.  For the archives:

The tip above, and the eyes of a Solaris-guru co-worker, conspired to
find the problem for me.  It turns out that Solaris allows "*" for
the _facility_, but not for the _priority_.  On other words,
"local0.*" won't work, but "local0.debug" will.  Moreover, the
lowest-priority messages that you want need to be the last specified;
it appears that this is cumulative, so you get everything of priority
debug or higher with the above entry.
