Please review and push this ridiculously trivial fix: 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jgish/Bug4819681-Day1-typo-in-LogManager/ 
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bug4819681-Day1-typo-in-LogManager/>

I'd love to know how many people have stumbled on this ridiculous 
one-letter capitalization bug which has been around since day-1 of the 
introduction of logging and kept pushing it under the rug for others to 
stumble on instead of just fixing the thing and getting it out of the 
way.  Why do we continue to carry this kind of nonsense around?  I can 
just imagine the number of reports that have been generated over the 
years for every single release since 1.4, where someone has just said 
"Ah that one.  It's trivial.  Just forget it."  Jeez! (rant over :-) )

Thanks,
    Jim
