That seems to be at the second of these lines.

  public static Logger getLogger(String name) {
    return repositorySelector.getLoggerRepository().getLogger(name);

So either the repositorySelector is null, or its returning a null
LoggerRepository. If this is always from a shutdown hook (the other reports
don't mention if it's a shutdown hook). setRepositorySelector(..) is never
called, so presumably it's a null from LoggerRepository.

However, DefaultRepositorySelector does not even have an API for removing a
repository once set. That would seem to suggest that the selector was made with
a null LoggerRepository in the first place - but it can't be :)

Nothing Commons-Logging looks like it touches this, so currently I keep
suggesting the NPE can't happen. Need to repeat my steps and see where I screwed up.
