>  - Added try/catch around lookup of logger so exceptions do not prevent System.exit.
>    Added test case with console logger (when java.util.logging) not present.
>    Removed @implNote tag its not appropriate in implementation javadoc.
>    Still looking into when and where the log configuration should be described.
>  - Locate the System logger before taking the shutdown lock
