I thought we had thrashed this out back in August. Certainly the only
thing I recall seeing after I submitted the patch was some stylistic
criticism from Neil, which I addressed in a revised patch.

Anyway, it is in principle doable. That's partly why I adopted a printf
style format string. There are some wrinkles, though:
. interaction with syslog pid/timestamp logging
. making sure the info is available when you need to log it - I had to
rearrange a few thing to avoid getting SEGVs, IIRC.

Also, the session duration logging part of the patch is orthogonal to the
issue.
