[PATCH v2 00/14] Fix signal-unsafe logging

This new patch set includes a few fixes to the first and many more fixed
logging paths. All paths in the server that occur when it encounters a
fatal signal are now handled properly.

I do not think this affects the crash I have been seeing in the Ubuntu
server. I tracked that issue down to a bug in the synaptics input
module. Since the only known issue is that running the server under
valgrind may fail if messages are logged inappropriately, I suggest we
not apply this to any stable branches.

The full tree is still maintained at:

Thanks!
