|                  while scanning log records   to undo  incomplete
| transactions..
|
| Fix:
|       a)  prevent empty log switches by  rechecking the conditions that
| triggers the log switches
|            inside synchronized blocks.
|        b)  Make backward scans skip the empty log files.

| Please review  the changes in the attached diff file.
