Message:

Fixed some small memory leaks in logging if files unwriteable
If the variable logfilter is set it names a filter.  Any messages
  matching this filter are logged.  This is an independent
  mechanism from the other logging variables.  If you want to
  control all logging with logfilter the other variables must be
  set to their default (off) settings. [BZ 37]
Relatively substantial changes made under the hood to support
  filter logging.  Now have more consistent interfaces to
  creating messages etc.  Still needs more work though.
