Now I think you're reaching the mission-to-mars stage that Robert was
complaining about. Solving that sort of problem is well outside the
scope of this patch. I don't care if people have to shut down and
restart their servers in order to make a change to the log format.
Even if I did, the other patch sounds like a better approach.
