Description Thomas Watson CLA 2011-03-22 10:00:35 EDT 
In practice this does not happen in an OSGi environment as long as common is activated.  But there is a potential NPE in the RuntimeLog.log method if the writer is not set and there are no listeners available.  The code used to queue messages is broken and should be fixed.

There is also improvements that should be made to the LogFilter implementation to avoid logging when there are no listeners available.
