That makes me number two, I guess :-) There are several smallish Prolog vendors, so apparently someone is using it. The applications one hears about are usually natural language processing, expert systems and constraint solving programs. There was a paper about how Prolog was used to query the hordes of databases of Boeing at ILPS'95 (databases distributed all across the company and so on, of course). Anyway, that doesn't mean that guy's survey was very scientific. Self-selected population to be measured and all that.
