Major - P3 Logging subsystem core dump.
sue.loverso, test_txn08 is currently failing on the PPC and on my FreeBSD box:
% env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.libs python test/suite/run.py -p test_txn08.test_txn08.test_printlog_unicode

It's a core dump in the wt utility:

I think it's a problem with this change, part of SERVER-23659.
It looks to me like log can be NULL in that function, which means that code will drop core. I have no idea why it isn't failing everywhere, though.
