      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:

      (gdb) where
      #0  0x00000008009263a5 in __wt_log_scan (session=0x80304f380, lsnp=0x0,

      (gdb) p ret
      $2 = 0
      (gdb) p log
      $3 = (WT_LOG *) 0x0
      (gdb) p conn->log
      $4 = (WT_LOG *) 0x0
      

      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.
