Hmm, does that export the symbol so that third-party code can get at it?
I'm not sure it makes sense to do it for this one symbol, which should
be internal business between syslogger and elog only.

Did you hit a problem with it?  If so, what was it?

Michael, looking at

do you see an issue with this variable?
