Unusual to have *** in a variable for a filename.
My bash does not behave differently with one or three stars
(unless I set globstar, and that only needs **)

Given that the problem started at the year-change, the definition
of SOURCEFILE concerns me.
*** When did you update it for this year ? ***
I admit that most of my logging is only single lines, but is there
a good reason not to use an existing network logging tool
like syslog, rsyslog or possibly systemd-journald.
In my experience they are usually much better debugged than
home-grown scripts (the only millennium-bugs that caught me were
ones I had written).
