Please review 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jgish/Bug7146552-LoggingMXBeanTest-failure/ 
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bug7146552-LoggingMXBeanTest-failure/>

The LoggingMXBeanTest has been intermittently failing because garbage 
collection can cause the (weak) references to Logger instances to go 
away.  LoggingMXBeanTest2 has the same issue, but no bug has (yet) been 
filed against it.

The fix is to simply make the Logger variables static so they don't get 
gc'd.

Thanks,
    Jim
