> In header LogBuffer.h the classes iObject/iObjectActivator/iLogBufferData
> need to be cleaned up.
> This code is terribly designed.  Nobody should ever do object initialization
> in an overloaded new operator.   This caused TS-159.
> The logging code was designed to be completely lockless on the critical path
> and not to do any malloc/new (which typically involve locks) and this code
> breaks that design.
> Basically, this should be rewritten, perhaps someone for Y! could attach
> the patch which added this junk so it can be backed out and whatever
> real functionality it added, added in a reasonable way.
